You can also have a workout routine at home; most simple workout equipment is very affordable and easy to get. Yoga just about needs a single mat.

There are a few basics that are common to all workout routines and help you get the most out of whatever workout you practice.

1. Physician's Advice: before you start any workout, it's imperative that you visit your physician. This will give you an idea of your fitness level. Also you should discuss you reasons for wanting to workout with your physician, you may get some great suggestions for the type of workout you could benefit the most from.

2. Commitment: no workout routine will ever deliver what you hope from it unless you stay committed. Patience, perseverance and consistency are the golden rules of any exercise success. Athletes are always taught to be patient and see their workouts through. You also need to discipline yourself enough. Don't wait to 慺ind the time' to workout, 憁ake the time 憈o workout.

3. Balanced Diet: no matter what type of workout routine you follow, it will fall flat on its face if you don't support it with a healthy balanced diet. Unless you're on a weight loss program, I don't recommend a low calorie diet. Eat the number of calories which are normal for your age, gender and height. Make your diet choices smart and healthy. A good balanced diet is 35% protein, 30% fat and 20% carbohydrate. The proteins you're best off taking are white meat, whole eggs and beans. Fats don't mean greasy steaks at local Bar BQ, get healthy unsaturated fats like olive oil and avocado oil. Carbohydrates are also a great source of nutrition but avoid complex carbs. Whole is wholesome. Focus on eating whole grains, whole wheat, brown sugar, etc. also fill your snack bar with fruits and vegetables. They are a great source of vitamins and minerals.

4. Water: a healthy intake of water is crucial for successful workouts. Even if you don't workout, the human body needs up to 8 glasses of water a day to stay well hydrated. But when you're working out, your body perspires more. The rising rate of metabolism which is the result of any good workout routine cleanses the body of many impurities which are released into the blood. If your body is well hydrated, these impurities will be removed by your excretory system in the kidneys. But when your body is dehydrated, the impurities stay inside your bloodstream. Moreover your body starts to retain water, you muscles get swelled and you never feel the boost of energy that you should after exercising. On the contrary, your body is always in a state of fatigue. So if you're working out, take an extra 4 to 5 glass of water. Keep a water bottle with you during your workout.
