I've never been one to do sports or to exercise much, I just did what I was required in school and when I was younger I did basketball and gymnastics but I was not good at either of them. I also had swimming lessons for a few years but that was (1) because I needed to learn how to swin and (2) because I have a scoliosis and swimming makes it better.
When I started to care about my weight and my looks I felt like I needed to lose weight because I've always been a little chubby. But it wasn't until recently that I actually started exercising.
My tips on how to evolve and become stronger and more capable of doing certain types of exercises are:
- Start at your own rhythm/pace
- At first do things you feel capable of doing and as the weeks go by you will evolve (e.g. If you never exercised in your life start with a 30min. walk for the first week and then add some exercise to that walk or add more time to it on the second week. Keep adding something as the weeks go by)
- Create a playlist with songs that get you going or exercise with a friend and give each other motivation
- Try new things (easier to people who have access to a gym) - if you can try different types of exercise do it, that will prevent you from getting tired of your exercise routine
- Change your routine every once in a while
Once again, as I've said in my previous post, I am not a professional. These tips are based on my personal experience and they might not work for everyone but I still wanted to share them.
If you would like to see the video I made about my exercising experiences and the results, go over to my channel later this week.
I hope this post was somewhat helpful!
