10 Tips to Working Out

     There抯 no short cut way to weight loss. That抯 the fact. If you so desired to lose the access pounds, you must be willing to do lots of things. And one of the most important things to do is to exercise regularly.

Based on my own experience, along with a good diet program, a good fitness program will ensure that you抣l achieve your goal effectively and more meaningfully. But like diet program, many find it difficult to stick to one regimented exercise program.

The following are some of the tips that you need to and can observe while exercising.

1. Start slow: This is especially so if you have never exercised in life or hardly do any exercise for the longest time. Naturally, you will be afraid to hit the gym or even start walking. Try to take it easy: start by working out only for fifteen to twenty minutes per day, for two or three days a week. As your body gets accustomed to your new workout routine, you can scale up the intensity of your workouts!
2. Do what you love: There are exercises that you probably don't love to do; if you force yourself to do these exircises it is only a matter of time before you become bored and soon enough you will stop doing it! It is very important to find exercises that you actually love, then it becomes easier! For instance, I prefer swimming over walking. So I incorporated mostly swimming into my workout.
3. Mix and match your workout ?Again this will stop boredom to creep into your workout. Variations help you going. That抯 why even though I love swimming, sometimes you抣l see me hitting the gym and other time I was at the park jogging.
4. Warm Up and Cool Down ?Ask any trainers and they抣l tell you that these are important elements in your workout. Not only warming up would prepare your body right for the intensity of your exercise, it will reduce unnecessary injuries. Likewise with cooling down.
5. Use proper equipment ?Just remember that ill sized equipment or badly fitting gears could cause training injuries too. Money that is spent extra on proper equipment and gears go a long way.
6. Doing it right - Bad technique is equally bad as bad equipment. Always seek good advice from trainers and various pros as their input would certainly be invaluable to your training or exercises.
7. Film yourself up ?If you don抰 have time to hit the gym on a reguar basis, why not film your exercise routine once a while. Cameras and mirrors do not lie. And then you can show the video to people (like your fitness buff friend) who are well versed about fitness program. They probably can help you improve.
8. Reward yourself ?Exercising is tough. Therefore, do treat yourself to a spa or massage session to rejuvenate your body, mind and soul once in a while. Relax your joints and muscles after a long workout. Your deserve it.
9. Get a friend or partner to workout with: Working out alone is not always a fun experience. However, if you can have a friend workout with you, chances are that you will start loving your workouts instead of hating them! Plus seeing someone else working out will motivate you to continue with your exercise routine!
10. Get an IPOD or MP3: Take an IPOD or MP3 with you whenever you hit the gym or the jogging path. This is a great way of kicking out the boredom out of your workout routine!
