How to Start Working Out (And Stay Consistent)

Thinking about how to start working out takes a lot more time than actually going out and doing it. This is especially true for those who have been sedentary for a long time. It’s even worse for those who have been overweight or underweight for most of their lives. After all, committing yourself to fitness means a lot of changes have to happen.

And change means uncertainty. The most stressful scenario is when you don’t know how things are going to play out. Uncertainty makes us overthink. It makes us worry. Uncertainty is what makes us anxious. We don’t know what exactly will happen in our fitness journey. It’s all-new experiences, and that can be a bit daunting. But that’s okay. If you want to live healthier, this is the time for you to steel your resolve and just go for it.

For many of us, the past year felt very long and drawn out. With the virus, lockdowns, and all the mask business, we’ve all been too busy with other stuff to focus on fitness. Now that the new year is here, it’s the perfect opportunity for us to begin anew. 

Starting a fitness journey may not be easy, but it’s definitely not impossible. If you’re wondering how to start working out (and how to stay consistent), here are a few tips to help you out.
