HOW TO GET STARTED
All of us have tried to start exercising at least once in our lives. Those lucky few whose willpower has led them to a healthy lifestyle can stop reading right now. But what about the rest of us, for whom the refrigerator and the warmth of the couch win hands down over the treadmill? Here are some simple tips to break our laziness towards a healthier life.
1. Find the joy of movement in sports
From the beginning, the body was created for movement. Jumping, running, crawling, crawling, squatting, turning, hanging, rolling, simply anything. The first shock came when man invented the chair. Finally, remember when was the last time you ran, jumped? Not to achieve any results, but just like that, for joy. Nowadays, people forget about movement, and especially, about the joy of movement. Many people stopped exercising because they did not see immediate results from exercise.
2. Learn from the experienced

Practice is basically the same as any other skill. If you struggle on your own from the beginning, it will naturally take much longer to master all the nuances. A professional will help you develop a training program tailored exactly to your goal. They will take into account your health and help you not only enjoy exercising, but most importantly, so that you do not hurt yourself.However, if you learn to exercise incorrectly, it can have serious, and especially long-term, health consequences.Find out how to find the right personal trainer .

You can have the best architect and the most skilled workers. But supply them with poor quality materials and the building will be worthless. Fueling your body with the right fuel may sound like a cliché, but it’s the foundation of everything. Our busy lives often provide an excuse to eat poorly. But often, small changes are all it takes to eat better and healthier. And that doesn’t mean eating foods that aren’t tasty, quite the opposite.
4. Start small
People who come to the gym and have never worked out before can be over-motivated at first. It's great to look forward to training, but this can sometimes lead to a person burning out their abilities right at the beginning. It's better to start easy and gradually increase the load. An experienced professional is there to adjust your training exactly according to your capabilities and abilities so that you can improve your fitness step by step.
