4 Keys To Starting Fitness

1. Make a commitment. 
Decide what sort of workout you will do and plan the days and times you are going to workout. Having it on the calendar makes it much easier to to be consistent.

2. Just start. 
On your planned day, make a commitment that no matter what (other than injury or fever) you will atart your workout. Even if you don't think you will finish it, commit to starting each day no matter what. In the beginning building the habit of starting is the most important thing.  

3. Bite the bullet and hire a trainer. 
Even if it is just temporary, hiring a trainer (like me for expample) will help you get off to a good start in a reasonable manner. Not only can a good trainer show you what exercises to do and how to do them safely, they can help you progress your workout as your fitness improves. 

4. Don't let the ego plan your workout. 
If you are new to fitness take it easy at first. Overdoing it can get you injured or worse. At first learning how to exercise properly is more important than "feeling the burn."
