Work out Tips
After checking with your physician to see that its wise for you to being any form of strenuous exercise, think of these hints to keep you motivated.

If you experience pain, stop!!!You may need to modify your exercise routine.

Start slowly
-try to keep really strenuous exercise to about 20 minutes at a time, beginning with 3 times a week.
-when lifting weights, exercise muscle groups you DIDN'T the day before

Watch your progress
-keep track of your results/frequency of exercise times

Get feedback
-make sure you’re following a balanced program being careful NOT to overdevelop one muscle group which leads to straining another group

Don't forget the little things
-drink plenty of water, because...
-wear comfortable clothing
-use high-quality shoes designed to your pattern of exercising

Think about your goals
Lastly, Create long- and short-term goals. Set realistic goals. Determine exactly what you want to achieve through exercise and the time frame you're willing to allow yourself to reach your goal. Be practical - losing 15kg in two months isn't very realistic, intelligent or safe; 15 kg in six months is and can be a long-term goal, if you are overweight. Losing 2kg per week along the way is a short-term goal. Meeting short-term goals allows you to achieve success quickly and to build momentum as you push toward your greater objective. Then make the objectives official by writing them down, posting them on your bathroom mirror or refrigerator door, and crossing them off with confidence when you achieve them.
