Starting an Exercise Regime
Starting an Exercise Regime
With Mia🔺Inc
Private Personal Trainer and Virgin Active Instructior Zayboonisha Mia explains that understanding the effects a sedentary lifestyle has on your health sometimes often hits home only after a serious event such as hearing bad news from your doctor. For some people, that’s often enough motivation to get started.
‌Surviving a serious illness as a result of an inactive lifestyle, such as a heart attack or stroke, can also be frightening enough to provide a great deal of motivation.
Many exercises – including squats, push ups and sit ups – don’t need special equipment. You can improve muscle strength with weights at the gym, or fill milk bottles with water /sand instead for a home workout routine.
It’s important to continue and repeat exercise sessions, even after a shaky start. Yes, it can be a big challenge, but exercise gets easier over time as the body gets used to providing the energy it needs.
At the start, you may get sore muscles. While this can be uncomfortable, the soreness goes away after a few days. You can reduce this soreness by starting with low intensity and building gradually over the first month.
Once your muscles become used to the new movements, the soreness will be minimal as you progress.
Once you’ve decided to start exercising, and had a medical check if needed, start slowly and build your exercise routine up over weeks and months. Make it interesting and enjoyable, perhaps by working out with a friend or group. Set some achievable goals, try to stick to them and don’t give up if you have a set back.
Weight loss and getting fit requires different approaches for different people so find what works for you and make it part of your lifestyle. Increase the intensity and frequency of your exercise gradually from a minimal of three times a week for 20 minutes and increase to about an hour.
