Starting an Exercise Program

From http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=A00416

The toughest and most important step in an exercise program is getting started. People often think they need to tackle a strenuous program right away to prove they are committed. But in reality, slow and steady is the best way to begin.

You need a workable plan to change your lifestyle from sedentary to physically active.

If you have an existing health problem, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, a history of heart disease, or are a smoker, you should contact your doctor before beginning any vigorous physical activity.

Following some basic guidelines can help establish an exercise program that protects you against disease and disability and insures a healthy, independent, and productive life.

If you're NEW to fitness then I suggest that you read the BBC article "Physical aspects of fitness" mentioned on the forum post "Fitness - Sharing Knowledge and Experience from Worldwide"

I suggested some girl about fitness who has started doing aerobics and dance: get a personal trainer to show you how to lift. do be careful with fitness trainers in the sense of go for a well certified trainer in general and try to take personal training sessions than inputs for free because they might not guide you properly and which might also harm you. also, take appropriate care of your nutrition to really grow and develop because exercising is only one part. also proper rest is critical.

  • Well being an avid cyclist, I can give few starting tips for all the cycle enthusiasts there.

    Getting started with cycling is not something which needs great suggestions. You simply go out for a ride. While cycling you have no destination, you just ride. Here are a few suggestions which motivated/got me started riding.

    1. Fellow cyclists. They used to go every Sunday morning for long rides. One day I tagged along with them and it was sure fun. They told me about different patterns of the ride, their experiences, which routes are best, weather effects.
    2. Consult your Doctor He will be able to let you know if you have any physical injury or if its fine to go out for a long ride. Trust me there might be issues you might not know since your childhood
    3. Get proper attire for cycling. Good shoes, cycling shorts, cycling jersey.
    4. Check you bike for defaults. Get your bike checked for any possible mishaps. Mishaps are very uncommon but still prevention is better than cure. Get a kit for yourself and learn to do some basic stuff yourself.
    5. Check these accessoriesThere are must have accessories for you. Check this list everytime you go out, if you are carrying all these or not for a perfect biking experience.
    6. Ride & embrace the nature. Always ride in a pollution free area with less motor vehicles. Since your breathing is high while riding, you will get affected adversely. Carry a mask if you absolutely have to.
    7. Nutrition Take care of your nutrition. Here is a basic guide of what to eat and whenIts very important.
    8. See the world. Time is usually not a constraint for riding, yet prefer going out in the morning. You will get a very different view of the world around you (happiest thing while riding alone). Ride slow and see the blossoming rose in a narrow street house or an innocent smile on a kid’s face, walking holding hands of his mother or may be the shop mannequin wearing the perfect shirt that you always wanted!!

    Best of luck for a perfect ride. Track it from some app (yes you will always carry your smartphone, my suggestions is to use Fitso app as it will provide you much more than you can imagine.
