How To Start My Fitness Journey?

When you think of working with licensed trainers, gym, or machine memberships, it usually comes to mind. But don't force yourself to believe that you need to join the gym to be able to exercise effectively.

That doesn't always have to be the case. Staying in the comfort of your home is another option to build your muscles and burn some unwanted fat.

Exercising at home saves you more money and time to focus on your own goals since you will be the one in control of your schedule.

Starting your fitness journey from your home helps you to get in proper diet and routine and you can decide what is good and what is bad for your body.

However, exercising at home should be done with great care and caution, especially if it is not monitored by health and fitness professionals.

Here are 10 Quick & Easy Tips before you Start Your Fitness Journey

step 1

Before starting any form of exercise at home, it is always safe to consult your doctor

If you haven't done any training for a long time, ask a healthcare professional what specific exercises you should perform or modify. 

If he/she has clearly stated that you are in good physical shape to exercise at home, you can create your training plan. Otherwise, you would have to ask someone to monitor you while doing the exercises prescribed by a healthcare professional.

step 2

When you plan to exercie at home, you must first make some room for it 

Find a comfortable (but not too comfortable) place in your home that can help you move easily. Make sure there is enough ventilation so that you can breathe properly. Do not exercise in completely closed rooms.

The airflow in the room of your choice (preferably one with windows) should run smoothly.

step 3

Create a training plan either weekly or monthly

If your physical evaluation indicates that you need to lose weight, you may want to focus more on aerobic or cardiovascular exercise. But if you feel like you need to tone your muscles and again more weight, strength training, and weight lifting should suffice.

For faster and more apparent results, create a diet program for yourself, too.

step 4

Start your exercises at a slow pace, especially if you are new to training

Do what works for you first and gradually add more effort and intensity to your exercises over the weeks.

step 5

In physical exercise, high-intensity offsets for low frequency, and vice versa


If you are doing the exercises with only a few repetitions, it is recommended that you do it more frequently (at most, every day) because it conditions the memory of the whole body and muscles.


Once you have become accustomed to high-intensity exercises, you can reduce the frequency of your training.

step 6

Make sure your breathing is normal throughout the workout

Holding your breath can harm your body. You need oxygen to keep your blood circulating throughout your body during exercise.

step 7

Make sure your form is correct

Don't start your workout without knowing how to do it correctly; It could hurt you in the process if you make a mistake. Try watching videos on how to do certain exercises correctly.


Practice and check if you are doing well before moving on to the next exercise.

step 8

Allot days for adequate rest and recovery

Muscles must repair and regain their strength through rest, as it maintains a healthy balance between your physical state and your time.
Unless you're only doing low-impact exercises (for example, walking, stretching, etc.), try not to exercise every day.


Practice and check if you are doing well before moving on to the next exercise.

step 9

If you feel muscle pain after a day of high-intensity exercise, you can make an active recovery

Muscle pain can gradually heal when you stretch or exercise again the following days.


However, if the pain persists, you can consult with a healthcare professional what changes should be made to your training.

step 10

If you feel sick or have an injury, don't exercise

It takes some time for your body to recover before it can function well enough to experience physical stress.


On the other hand, if you're going through episodes of unusual weakness or dizziness while exercising, don't hesitate to stop.


Drink water afterward; It is important to stay hydrated at all times.
