As someone who loves to workout and holds a gym membership, I sometimes forget what it’s like to start from square a when working out. Now that I’m finally getting back into my regular workout routine since the concussion, I’ve decided to dedicate this months blog post to help those starting at point a to get to point be; obviously, this may be too easy for you, or you may already know all this stuff,, but it’s still good to be reminded about it as a beginner you should be aiming for 30 minutes of cardio every day and strength training twice a week for two to three month depending on your fitness goals remember to always stretch before a workout you don’t want to get injured when your just starting and your workout should always be harder than your warm-up and don’t forget to rest your body needs time to work up to full-blown workouts.
- 15-second plank- You can do these as many times as you want. I like to do reps of 10;; I go 15 seconds of the plank to squats with weights and repeat but remember,, don’t overdo it
- 30 jumping Jacks.-Very simple but definitely good work out. I normally forget to actually do jumping jacks as part of my workout, but I do use it in my warm-up.
- 30 Squats- sounds easy but remember to use the right posture, and if it still easy, adds some weights in
- Weights- effortless start off with light weights at first, maybe dumbells or weight machine. If you're at a gym, start light and work way up over time, probably not the best time to try a deadlift just yet.
- Walk- this is really good. If you have no money but want to start working out, just go for a walk super fun too; maybe go for a bushwalk/hike or if you have a dog, take him or her to the park.
- Run/jog- again, just like the walk easy to do and run just makes you sweat more.
- Biking- no, I don’t mean motorbiking. Even if it is run, ditch that hard bulking helmet, put a different one on a hop on a bike you have to Pettle with and off you go.
- Swimming- you will need a pool or a lake for this, but it’s incredibly cheap and easy. Just use different kinds of strokes, and maybe for that warm-up and cool down, you can have a splash around with your workout partner or kids.
- Wall sit- this is extremely painful but a very powerful workout. I actually learned this one in gym class at school back against a wall with shoulders touching as well in a squat position and see how long you can hold. Maybe do this a couple of times, just do a different workout in-between times.
