10 Fitness Tips For Beginners

1. Conquer Anxiety -- Everyone will feel a little anxiety when embarking on an exercise and nutrition program. So if you feel a little jittery, do understand that you are not alone. All of us have been through that stage. You may feel intimidated by the loads of information you are recieving or if you have no personal trainer with you or have not done much research, you may not even know how to start. This is the danger point because you will just copy what others do without knowing the science behind the exercises and nutrition and worse, you may be copying wrong things.

Do yourself a favor. Hire a professional trainer if it is within your budget or read my free fitnesss tips there.

2. Write Down Your Goals -- You must know what you want. When you want it and how to get what you want by a certain time. Otherwise, you will just be going through the motions aimlessly. Do you really believe that you can achieve great results by doing things aimlessly without knowing how to achive excellent results?

3. Get Your Doctor's Ok -- Have a chat with your doctor before you begin a physical program. Firstly, if you are pronounced fit to go into heavy physical activities, you will feel more confident and know that you can achieve what you want. If your doctor warned you on some medical condition that you may have, then you can plan your routine beaing that condition in mind. It is just being wise to talk to your doctor.

4.Plan -- You will need a battle plan. This plan will keep you structured on on track and to quantify your improvements. Keep a log book when you are in the gym. Log down everything that you do.

5. Be Realistic -- If you have a Mr Bean or Garfield body type, don't expect to have the physique of Superman in 4 weeks. If you do, you will only dissapoint yourself and then you may give up. On the contrary, you may push yourself too hard and workout long hours everyday. Both actions are just as bad. More is not better.

6. Learn learn and learn -- Yes, my articles will help you start off but it will not be sufficient for you to develop complete understanding of concepts such as repetitions, sets, cardio...etc to reap you excellent benefit and results.

7. Nutrition -- Whether you want to lose fat or build big muscles. Nutrition is an important key. When to eat, what to eat, how do various types of protein work, how vitamins and minerals can ehance your performance etc. Why insulin surges can make you fat?

8. GOYA -- Ok...I am not going to be diplomatically correct in my choice of language. To often have I seen peopole who say, I want to have this and that body shape and then sit back and do everything wrong or worse, not doing anything. I say to these people "Goya!" - Get Off Your Ass. Do something. Join a gym, write down your goals and plans. Learn learn learn. Then move. Do something to get started.

9. There Is No Magic Bullet -- When you see any advertisements claiming to help you lose weight or build muscles where you need not do anything or that they will give you immediate impressive results, you better steer far far away from these folks lest you burn a big hole in your pocket and at most, get a teeny weeny disappointing result. If it is that simple, everyone will be in fabulous shape isn't it?

10. Plan Your Budget - If you do not have a budget, well, you may read articles, find nuggets of information from the web and go through your routine the trial and error method. This will take time and any wrong technique and nutrition may affect your health and leaves you sustainable to injuries. But you will be doing far better than people who don't even bother to do some research.If you have the budget, a professional personal trainer will be your best bet in achieving great results.

When you want to do someting, do it really well, so that you can really own a body that is attractive and so desirable. And best of all, a face glowing with good health.
