1. What’s Your Goal?

Before choosing a workout program, you need to figure out why you want to exercise. Do you want to lose weight or just get in shape? Your end result will play a role in helping you decide what kind of exercise you want. Say you want some stress relief. You might want to choose yoga. If you want to tone your legs, you should choose biking or dancing.

2. Take Your Ability Level into Account

If you’re new to exercise, going full out with a really intense new workout program is a bad idea. You’ll increase your risk of injury doing that. Choose a low intensity program to start with and change things up as you gain endurance. Walking or swimming are good choices. If you are an experienced exerciser, you can choose something that is a bit harder, like soccer or Zumba.

Frequently asked questions

3. Choose Something You Enjoy

Let’s be honest here. If you choose a type of exercise you hate, chances are you won’t do it very long. For me, that’s running. I’ve tried to like it, but I just can’t. Instead of torturing myself, I just do something else that I do enjoy. Choosing a workout that is fun and that you look forward to increases the chances that you’ll stick with it until you reach your goals.

4. Can You Afford Your Chosen Workout?

Don’t go rushing out and buy yourself a gym membership that costs you a month’s salary? There are plenty of exercise options that won’t cost you as much. Some won’t cost you anything other than the price of the equipment you need to buy. Jogging, biking or walking are affordable, while also working out your muscles and burning calories.

5. Keep Safety in Mind when You Exercise

Not all types of exercise are appropriate for all people. If you have any health conditions, such as asthma or back pain, you might need to be careful when you work out. The best thing to do is to discuss your health issues with your doctor so that you can choose the workout that is best for you.

6. Talk to a Trainer if You’re Confused

Sometimes, you need professional help if you can’t figure out an exercise program on your own. Make an appointment with a trainer who can help you figure out your ability level and give you some much needed pointers for making exercise work for you. Even just one session can prove incredibly helpful when working on your exercise program.

7. Experiment and Switch Things up All the Time

The thing about exercise is that you don’t always have to do the same thing. In fact, it’s important to mix things up now and then to keep your body from adapting, which can reduce your benefits. Trying new things all the time will keep you from getting bored and something different can be the perfect choice for you.
