If you often here yourself saying "i don't know where to start" when it comes to your fitness journey then this is the blog for you!
The biggest barrier for people to start working out is not knowing where to start. This blog will give you a quick guide to getting started that you can implement TODAY.
Step 1)
Decide how many days you can commit to doing your workouts. Be realistic, aim for the bare minimum so then anything above feels like a win but have the non negotiable of 1 or 2 workouts a week
Step 2)
Set these days in your calendar and a time so you know what day you are doing your workout
Step 3)
If working out at a gym:
Seated Row 3 x 15
Lat pull down 3 x 15
Leg extension 3 x 15
Hamstring Curl 3 x 10
Hip abduction machine 3 x 15
(If you are unsure of the exercises head over to my YouTube channel where you will find videos of how to do these)
If working out at home:
Dumbbell single arm row 3 x 15 each side
Incline push ups 3 x 10 (The higher the incline the easier it is)
Plank 30s x 4 sets
Side plank 30s each side x 3
Glute bridges 4 x 20
Wall sit 30s x 3
Start with these 1-2 days per week to build consistency, decrease overwhelm and feel confident within the gym. Once you feel that you have the consistency down and feel more confident within the gym or your workouts then start to change it up
Remember the smallest wins make the biggest changes
