Starting A Work Out Routine

Posted Mar 24 2009 3:20pm

starting a fitness program is not as scarey, hard, or intimidating as lots of people make it out to be. The hard part isn’t starting, but continuing. That is exactly why many people trying to start their own exercise program quit after the initial phase. They start, prove to themselves they can do it, and then quit having a sense of fake satisfaction in the back of their mind re-convincing themselves that “if they really wanted to, they could do it”. What they don’t know is starting an exercise program is the easy part, but staying motivated, committed, and resilient is by far the hardest part of any exercise or fitness program/routine.

Any new exercise program starts with a breakthrough phase. A phase dedicated to introducing your body to the exercises, workouts, and routines you expect it to do at a higher level in the future. This phase is simple, to the point, short and tedious. This phase is dedicated to low stress exercises. These are the kind of exercises that allow your body to move through the motions without harming or straining any muscles or joints. Rubber bans, cable machines, and body weight workouts all contribute to low stress exercises. The most important issue around starting a fitness program is not wearing yourself down. The intial stage of starting a fitness program is not meant to burn you out, but to prepare you. Remember this and your future workouts will be extremely more effective. As I said before, low impact exercises are the basis of starting any new fitness program, for most of this stage it won’t feel like you are working out at all.

All workouts are based around quality, not quantity. And starting an exercise program with low resistance exercises is the best and ideal way to allow your body to adjust, so you’re able to strive for both quality and quantity. Someone who starts a new exercise program and goes ‘gun-ho’ for the first 3 weeks might look, feel, or act better than you do. But in the long run, after a month or 2, when your intial stage has ended and you’ve started or rigorous routines - you’ll leave them in the dust and be on your way to Optimal Fitness.

Many people argue that ‘calibrating’ or adjusting your body to a workout is detrimental to any new workout routine. That is true, but not in the initial phase. low impact exercises are exercises that most people avoid and stay away from with any moderate/average fitness program. This means when you graduate from the initial stage and start your fitness program your body won’t, in the words of the fitness guru’s, “know what’s coming.” This allows for the concept of Muscle Confusion to still be relevant to your new workout routine.

The easiest part for starting a fitness program should be, ironically enough, starting. That is exactly what the intial phase of any new fitness program does. low resistance exercises never discourages you from any workout, and is the best starting point for any beginner.
