Forbes Living TV and 4 Tips for Getting Started on a Fitness Program
Assess Fitness Level-the first thing you should do is figure out where you’re fitness level is now. You can do this by recording baseline fitness scores to assess your aerobic and muscular fitness level. Go to http://www.sparkpeople.com for tips on how to assess your fitness level.
Fitness Program-the next thing you want to do is figure out what your fitness program is going to be. You should consider the time of day you like to workout, how much time you have and what your fitness goals are. Here are some beginner fitness tips from a fitness website we love http://www.fitsugar.com/beginner-fitness-tips
Fitness Gear-always start with the right athletic shoes. You should pick the shoes for the specific activity you have in mind. Athletic shoes for walking are different than the athletic shoes you would purchase for running. Do you want to invest in a gym membership or purchase some equipment for your home? Find out more about fitness gear at http://toneitup.com/category/fitness/fitness-gear/.
Monitor Progress-after you have been working out for about six weeks you should retake your personal fitness assessment. This way you will see what your progress level is, which will help you determine whether you are ready to increase weights and distance.
Keep in mind that starting a fitness program takes time and motivation. If you find you are having trouble staying motivated ask a friend to workout with you. You can also take a fitness class, which will force you to workout at a specific time every week.
The producers of Forbes Living TV suggest you speak with your doctor before starting any fitness program. Once you get the green light start your new program and get ready to feel and look your best.
