1.See your doctor before you start any exercise program. Get a full physical to make sure everything's in working order, then find a personal trainer in your neighborhood and make an appointment with him or her for a consultation. Most trainers will give you a free consultation and help you figure out what your fitness level is, your body fat and circumference measurements, and the right way to start a program.
2.Start Slow! Many beginners make the mistake of doing too much when they first start out. If you haven't worked out in a while (or ever) start with a walking program of about 20 to 30 minutes, 3 days a week. Each session, add a few minutes to your workout to progress each week.
3.Write down your workouts every day, making notes about what you did, how you felt and how you improved since your last workout.
4.Schedule your workouts each week, just like you would a doctor's appointment.
5.Eat regularly throughout the day so you don't bonk during your workout.
