Do Workouts You Enjoy
So you don’t like CrossFit? That’s okay, there are plenty of ways to train for strength, endurance, and overall health. When it comes to exercise, there are dozens of ways to find enjoyment. Perhaps yoga is more your pace versus barbell deadlifts and squats—or maybe you’re a resistance band kind of person. There is no shame in liking one method or style of fitness more than another. It also might take some experimenting—with reps, sets, weight, classes, apps, or trainers—to discover what you really enjoy.

Start With Baby Steps
If you’re just starting a fitness routine or rebuilding one, take one small baby step at a time. As a certified personal trainer, I often see clients set lofty goals and try to push themselves too hard during the first week. Starting out is exciting, but it’s just the beginning. There will be time in the future for epic leg days and personal records—the beginning is all about setting a foundation.

Compound Movements: Focus on exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses that work multiple muscle groups.

Keep a fitness journal or use apps to track your workouts, diet, and progress. This helps you stay motivated and make adjustments as needed.

Use Equipment Properly: Familiarize yourself with gym equipment and how to use it correctly. If you're unsure, ask a trainer for guidance.

Listen to Your Body:

Pay attention to how your body feels during and after workouts. If you experience pain (not to be confused with the normal discomfort of a challenging workout), it's important to address it and, if necessary, seek professional advice

Get a physical. This is especially important if you're new to exercise or have any health concerns.
