Start Small

Overwhelming yourself with too much exercise right away can put unnecessary stress on your body and could lead to injury. Don’t jump into intense workouts that you may not be ready for yet — start small and gradually increase your workload as your body adjusts. Try doing basic exercises at home, like crunches, squats, lunges, etc., before moving on to more complex workouts. As always, consult with a doctor before starting any workout regimen.

Set Goals

Set realistic goals, so you have something to strive for — this will keep you motivated and on track toward achieving your fitness objectives. Start with short-term goals such as running a certain distance or completing a certain number of reps in an exercise routine; then move on to longer-term goals like losing a set amount of weight or improving your overall cardiovascular endurance.
