Weather you are a beginner or returning after a long period of not being active the first thing to do before you start any fitness program is to see your doctor and get medically cleared. You may have unknown health issues that can cause serious injuries while exercising, or you may know of health problems but are not sure if you can exercise, and also living a unhealthy life style may have caused problems since your last check up.
After you get cleared to start exercising the next thing you should do is sit down with a pen and paper and write down your goals. Short term, long term and how committed you are to getting there. Then write down what you eat, how much and how often.
This allows you to see where you need to change. Most often it will be the protion size of your food and cutting back on processed foods, sugars and fats. The next thing you should do is see what is availble to you. Do you have access to a gym? Do you want to do it alone or with a buddy and do you want a personal trainer? Get the best start possible, the better your start the higher your chances of success.
Above all have fun and use a program that you enjoy. Health and fitness is about gaining health, strength, wellness and reducing stress!!
