What Should We Pay Attention To When Starting Exercise?

Nasip Bayer, the manager of Akra Fit, told about the details and tips that should be paid attention to when starting exercise for the readers of The Akra Magazine. Do not start exercise before you read…

Set achievable goals: Plan to exercise for 20 minutes 3 times a week. Do not forget to take note of your progress. Even a tick for each day you exercise is enough.

Use exercise reminders during the day: Write down in your agenda the exercise plans like other activities. Keep the gym bag, which you use in the gym, in your car. This can be a good reminder.

Set a reward (which does not include food) system: Use something other than food to reward yourself when you achieve your exercise goal. Reward yourself with a massage or have manicure or pedicure.

Get a good pair of sneakers: It is very important that your sneakers are suitable for your feet and exercise. Of course, it is also important that these are also comfortable to wear. So, invest in a good pair of sneakers. Do not forget to retire the old shoes. The expected life cycle of sneakers is 3 - 6 months.

Find a friend: When there is someone depending on you and when you have same goals with the goals of that person, this motivates you. It also makes you to enjoy the exercise more…

Start slowly: Most of the people push themselves too hard when starting exercise. It is ok to separate the exercise into parts during the day. Short exercises are very useful. Exercise several times during the day. You can exercise for 10 – 15 minutes.

Just walk: For many people, the easiest way to exercise is to walk. It is also an ideal exercise for those sitting for most of the day. Your daily step goal should be 10,000-15,000. Some people start with 5000 steps. You do not need to carry weight in your hands while walking. Your body cannot move continuously with extra weights in your joints.

Make it simple: Do not think that you need many luxurious equipment to exercise. Most of the trainers at gyms start to prefer simple equipment such as free weights like before.

Work out multiple muscles at once: When you work out more than one muscle group at once, it is more possible for you to move your whole body. This will shorten the time you set aside for exercise. Work out your hip by use of weights. In this way, you will work out both upper and lower body. It is possible to burn much more calories with exercises where the whole body moves. And in a very short time.

Use whatever makes it easier to move: Some of us need something binding to exercise for weeks. This may be listening to music or watching a favorite TV program while exercising. This is possible especially when you are using a treadmill or exercise bike. Otherwise, it may cause distractions.

Now you know the tips of starting exercise. If you have no reason to start regular exercising, we invite you to try these tips.
