Starting a Fitness Program Before beginning a physical fitness program there are some areas of consideration that will help insure the greatest success as you meet and exceed your goals. These are 6 steps you should have in place when starting your program. 1. Full health screening – This will determine the intensity levels of your exercise program and safety in participation. 2. Family involvement – Attempt to involve your family as much as possible. This can be accomplished by taking family walks or trips to a local athletic facility. 3. Convenience – The more convenient to location the more likely you are to continue your workouts. Also personal trainers are good for at home convenience and require little or no traveling on your part. 4. Peer Support – It is good to have an exercise partner however you want that partner to be at the same physical level as you that way goals can be met together. If the partner is superior physically than your workout may be to challenging, if you are superior physically that your workout may not be challenging enough. 5. Valid Exercise Prescription – Make certain that the exercises that are being performed are designed to meet your needs and goals. For example if you are trying to build muscle you do not want a lengthy cardiovascular program, or if you are attempting to burn fat you do not want to embark on a program with no cardiovascular training. 6. Goal Setting – It is important to set goals for yourself but make those goals achievable. Something as simple as losing 1 to 2 pounds a week is considered healthy, measurable and realistic weight loss.
