5 Steps To Start Your Workout Journey

These five steps to starting your workout journey can help you transition from a mundane lifestyle to a stronger, healthier you.

With a clear workout plan and the right motivation, you can reach your muscle and fitness goals without feeling overwhelmed. 

1. Know The Why

Before starting out your workout journey, you must find out the “why”. Why do you want to start your journey? Is it to gain muscle, lose weight, manage your stress, improve your heart health or a combination of all of the above?

Once you answer this question, you’d be able to start your workout journey with a set goal in mind and it will be easier for you to fulfill said goal.

Add a complete body workout plan in your daily routine. 

2. Don’t Wait, Just Start

Our lifestyle is centered around phones, laptops, and TVs. Outdoor activities have reduced and we spend most days sitting on the chair or couch.

Because we live a simple and consistent lifestyle, it can be tough for people to get out of their comfort zone. Most of us keep saying “we’ll start tomorrow” and this is the trap that you don’t want to get stuck in.

If you want to start, you must start right away. Before joining a gym, start by walking for half an hour.

You can also burn your calories at home with a full body workout. 

3. Start Slow and Small

Starting small and slow is the way to go. It is perhaps the only way you’ll stick to your workout goals long-term otherwise there is a chance you might overwhelm yourself.

Don’t just join the gym and start lifting weights on day 1. Start with walking on a treadmill, and maybe cycle for ten minutes. Start easy.

4. Consult With A Trainer

If you don’t know where to begin, asking for help from a personal trainer at your new gym is the best way to go about it.

You can go for a one-time consultation, or take a few training sessions. Even a couple of sessions will prove to be valuable to your fitness journey.

5. Gym Buddy

The best way to start your gym journey is with a friend. You can encourage each other to go the extra mile in the gym, or stick to your workout goals. There are so many benefits of working out with a friend.
