Exercising can be very enjoyable but getting started is a big struggle;
Where will you start? When will I start? What if I’m not very good at it?
Everyone has to start somewhere, if you feel nervous starting or maybe you just don’t know where to start this blog is for you!
Here is a few tips to get you exercising!
- When starting you start off slow and very easy, work your way up! Go at your own pace. Maybe you are naturally good at sports or are athletically fit. In this case you may have an advantage to other people but remember, everyone works their way up!
- Set out your own workout plan, set the days you are going to workout and stick to them!
- Ask a friend or a family member to start up with you. If you can’t get anyone to start with you maybe join a group or a gym.
Running groups are great for people who already run and for people who are only starting out!
Many gyms run classes or training groups, this can be a great opportunity to join, exercise, reach your goals and maybe make some new friends on the way!
- “Test the waters”. Before joining a running group or paying for a gym membership see if you like that exercise. If it’s running for example, try get out running for a week or two and see do you enjoy it.
If you don’t enjoy it move on to something else you enjoy, but remember no pain no gain, so bare this in mind!
- Eating correctly. Although you are only starting out, if you eat properly and fuel your body correctly you will find it easier to workout and you will begin to see results quicker!
- Exercise in the comfort of your own home. Working out at home is a good way to start your exercising career, this can also be easier to keep up!

Finally my favourite topic to talk about, motivation. Surround yourself with motivation and the urge to get up and go!
Some days you may feel tired and lack energy but here are a few ways to get motivated to start working out.
Motivation for exercising
-Pick a goal you want to achieve.
-Listen to motivational music. A playlist I listen to on Spotify that really gets me going, find it here!
-Keep remembering why you started.
-Watch some short motivational speeches.
-Reward yourself, of course everyone needs a treat sometimes so rewarding yourself after an achievement is a great way to help your body to keep going.
