Well done! I’m proud of you for thinking to start working out. It’s a great decision. Now, what you have to do is stay consistent. If you do regular exercise, you will see results; otherwise, you will get nothing and just waste time. In this article, we will guide you on how you can stay consistent and how you can start your workout journey.
Why do I need to do a workout every day?
You’ve just started working out, and on your first day, you did a one-hour workout. You did everything you saw on the internet. However, after the next couple of days, you’re just lying in bed and scrolling through social media. You didn’t do any single workout. It’s not going to help you achieve your fitness goal. You have to do it regularly to see results. Before starting a workout as a beginner, make a one-week workout plan. It will help you stay consistent. In this article, we will share with you what you need to do in your first week and how many days you can take a rest.
Common types of workout:
Push-ups: Push-ups will help you strengthen multiple muscles at once, including chest muscles, shoulders, triceps, biceps, and upper back muscles.
Skipping rope: Skipping rope will help improve your cardio-respiratory fitness (or stamina), flexibility, coordination, balance, rhythm, and symmetry.
Squats: Squatting regularly and properly can help improve range of motion and strengthen muscles throughout the lower body, including the glutes, hips, and ankles.
Stretching: Stretching offers a range of benefits, from increased flexibility to improved blood flow.
Running: Running increases the capacity of your heart, lungs, and muscles.”
How to start a workout:
Now we will break down a few things that you need to know before you start your workout journey:
Time: If you want to start working out, you need to find out when you are exactly free in the next 7 days because you have to work out regularly to see results. If you don’t exercise regularly, you can’t see the result. If you choose the right time, it will help you stay consistent and motivated. If you choose the wrong time, it will demotivate you, and you will give up. That’s why we suggest you make a plan before you start your journey.
Make A Habit: If you want to start your fitness journey, make this a habit. Stop scrolling social media; it wastes your time and energy. Use that time for your workout. Make it a good habit. Good habits help you stay physically healthy and mentally healthy as well.
Check Your Health: Before starting your workout journey, consult your doctor. It can also help you optimize your workout, making it easier for you. You will understand what you need to do and how much effort you can give.”

Few tips for you as a beginner:
Optimize your nutrition: Make a healthy nutrition plan for your workout journey. It will give you energy to complete your workout. If you are a skinny guy, you can’t complete your workout on an empty stomach, so the best thing to do is make a nice and healthy nutrition plan.
Stay hydrated: Drink as much water as you can. When you start working out, your body needs water, and you will feel dehydrated. Maintain your body’s hydration level.
Warm up:
Before you start working out, warm up your body. Doing a warm-up before a workout can help prevent injuries and improve your athletic performance.
