You want to train your body but you don't have any idea of what to do, or you want some tips? Let me try to give you some basic tips and exercises you can try out.
(You should consult your doctor before you do any exercises.)
Steps
- Make sure you have time to workout.
- Make sure to drink some water during the workout. Do not drink too much water as you can get a cramp.
- Always warm up for 5-10 minutes with some light exercises, like "jumping jacks". If you want to train outdoors, you can just take a jog. Jogging is THE most basic and probably best exercise you can do. It does not build muscles in the upper body, but it strengthen your legs, your stamina, and your overall health! So it's a great idea for people who want to begin training, to just start with jogging for a week or two before starting to do any other exercises. You can either jog every day or less but to get some fast progress, you should jog at least 3 times a week. It costs no money to jog.
- Do some push-ups. The push-up, like jogging, is a very simple and good exercise that requires no equipment. It trains your chest, your arms, your abs and torso, depending on the variation.
- Add sit-ups to your regimen. Sit-up is a very basic abdominal exercise. It comes in many variation. Doing 3-5 sets of as many sit ups as you can do every other day will give you some results (once you can do more than 20 sit-ups per set, do a more difficult core exercise, and/or add weight by holding a dumbbell while performing sit-ups.
- Your legs are the foundation of your body, so its important to train your legs properly. The simplest option for training your legs is jogging. If you cant jog because there is traffic or something, you can just jump up and down. there is a good technique on youtube if you search for "monkey jump" (kung fu) if you have a stationary bike, it is a very good for your legs.
- it is important to remember to train the back. the "superman" exercise is very good for your back. so is the "cat and camel" exercise.
- Try "bicep curls" if you would like larger biceps. They are very effective for your arms.
- Know what to train. Here are the main areas on the body to train: legs, abs, chest, back, shoulders and arms. You can use youtube to find some other exercises than mentioned above to train each area. (see Discuss)
- Take a break. Resting is as important as training, in fact when you rest your muscles are growing.
- Remember to stretch your muscles after working out. hold for at least 15 seconds, and if you want to get more flexible hold for a minute and a half
Tips
- Be moderate at the start; get the techniques right first.
- Don't compare yourself with others. everybody has been new beginners once!
- Train regularly. results don't come over night, but over time.
- Train with others or with music, it is more motivating.
- To best burn fat, you should do a light exercises for a 15-30 minutes, that's cardio workout.
- Find out if you want to get strong, be fast, have more endurance, if you are training for a specific sport or if you just want to get more slim and healthy, and set your goals after that.
- Eat healthy food like fish, fruits and vegetables. not pills or shakes. eat less candy and snacks.
- You can use "YouTube" to find exercises that YOU like and are comfortable with. (see Discuss)
Warnings
- If you are sweating very heavily, you should substitute a drink with electrolytes (Gatorade, vitamin water, etc.) for plain water, because Hyponatremia, a dangerous problem that occurs when sodium levels are too low in the body, could take effect. If you don't have a sports drink, add a moderate amount of salt to apple juice for an electrolyte boost.
