You have just taken a firm resolution to get back to sport? Congratulations. But then, it's been months or years you have not practiced exercise. Where to (re) start? Follow our 5 tips fitness. 

If you go out to a period of inactivity in terms of sport, it is important not to burn the steps and start with a small club. In fact, not going to try to lift weights 10kgs or want to run out of the blue 10km. At best you will lose your motivation at worst you blesseriez!

Walk as much as you can: 

Walking is your best program to start your fitness. You will tell me that you are walking already, of course. Yes, but the goal here is to focus maximum walkability. You take the car to go to the post office around the corner or to get your kids to the neighborhood school? Leave the keys in the drawer and go on foot! You take the elevator to go upstairs? Take the stairs. Start with a floor, then 2, with a little motivation, you'll end up walking the five floors that separate you from your desktop.

Do light workouts: 

Fitness exercises based abdominal sessions or chaining of dumbbells you consider torture? Do not worry, you are at the stage of fitness! Start with simple exercises: For example, practice deflections knee: Stand up straight, then bend your knees keeping your back straight and return to the starting position. A repeat 5 times. Another example is replacing the exercises with dumbbells by a stick.

Practice brisk walking: 

You set fitness by walking rapidepratique point 1 and you do not see other opportunities to walk? The upper level is to increase the speed of your walk, moving from a "normal" to a brisk walk. For this, nothing very complicated, once you get a chance, walk faster! However, if you feel short of breath, do not hesitate to return to normal operation.

Extremely versatile with swimming and cycling: 

Complete sport par excellence, swimming allows you to work your heart rate without making violent movements. Cycling is also a good tool for fitness. it also allows your body to seek in the effort without putting strain.

Run even short periods: 

You're just starting your fitness and you feel able to progress? Skip to Jogging. Again, the goal is not to run the half marathon. Begin by jogging at a moderate pace over short distances. Personally, when I returned to the sport after almost 2 years without exercise, my goal was to run 10 minutes ... and it was not easy the first few days!

Do not forget to treat your diet without reducing sugar intake are the fuel for your body in the effort!

Also be sure to perform a medical examination to verify your ability to return to sport, especially after a long shutdown! Also see your doctor if you feel any pain or difficulty after the beginning of your fitness.
