Starting an exercising routine:-

Repeated studies have shown that Exercising regularly strengthens your cardiovascular system, reduces stress and anxiety, improves coordination and flexibility, and simply provides a better quality of life.
Confused about beginning an exercise routine? Here’s a checklist before you begin. Check with your doctor: Check in with your doctor before beginning a new fitness program.

This is particularly true if you’re over 40, if you smoke, or if you have a family history of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, or asthma. Take up an exercise that you’re more likely to enjoy: You don’t have to take yoga if you don’t enjoy it. Opt for aerobics instead especially if you’re fond of cardiovascular forms of exercises.

START SLOWLY AND PROGRESS GRADUALLY: Don’t try to be a pro in just a few weeks. Getting used to an exercise routine takes times and don’t try too hard too soon or you could end up injuring yourself in the process.
SET GOALS: You can’t lose kilos in a jiffy. Set yourself a realistic target, stick to a proper exercise schedule and you’ll get in shape, slowly but surely. If you are prone to arthritis pain then opt for exercises that can increase joint mobility.
HAVE VARIED EXERCISE: Always include three basic forms of exercise in your fitness program: aerobics, strength training, and stretching. Try alternatives like yoga and meditation. It helps to ease your mind too.
STICK WITH IT: Be regular with your fitness schedule. Research has shown that 30 minutes of exercise everyday is enough for a healthy body and mind. You can even spread 30 minutes of exercises over 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the evening.

“IP: Try 30 minutes of low or moderate physical activity on most days of the week. When you’re ready to progress, increase the time you spend by about 10 per cent per weekâ€?.
