5 things to get started in fitness

Here! Start here!
What i mean is that the fact that you thought to come this far is an achievement in itself. It is amazing what the mind can do when the body is energized and healthy! So Lets take a look at what five things you want to focus on when getting started.Image result for i want to lose fat

1. Figure out where you are
 Learning where you stand currently and what you are capable of doing will give you insight on how intense your future workout plan should or should not be. If you have a gym membership and never used a personal trainer usually if you have never used one at that gym the 1st time you go will be free. Check in with a trainer and do a physical fitness assessment to see how strong you are or areas you can improve. Or take a jog around your block and time how long you can go before you stop.

2. Find a workout plan
With the unlimited amount of information that is out there you can literally search IG or twitter for a work out routine. I used Blue star nutraceuticals 12 week plan and enjoyed it a lot. I have been considering looking at Athlean-x next though. Jeff Cavaliere is definitely one of my favorite people to follow on youtube about fitness he gives a lot of good insight and tips about what to do how to do it and how it helps you

3. Take note of how you choose the food you eat for a week
 I always suggest just tracking the calories of what you are already deciding to eat that way you can see for face value what you are currently putting into your body and then setup a plan to either gain or lose weight. Here are some formulas to calculate how many calories you should intake in a day
Lose fat: current weight in pounds *11 (kilograms *24.2)
Maintain weight: current weight in pounds * 14 (kilograms * 31)
Gain muscle: current weight in pounds *17 (kilograms *37.4)

4. Drink more water
I don't care what you are doing this is highly recommended, a good practice I learned from Jeff on Athlean- X is drink about 2 bottles of water when you first wake up in the morning to hydrate your body and kick start your muscles. This is a good practice because if the bottles are about 18-20oz to of those is around 36-40ozs and getting anywhere from a half a gallon to a gallon a day is ideal. This will give you more range to workout because your muscles need this to function at its peak.

5. Focus on yourself and find motivation
 The worst thing you can do is worry about somebody else while going through this process. Some of us feel insecure about our bodies and want to change it. Keep your end goal in your mind and visualize what you want to look like if you aren't currently there already. Mindset is half the battle, sometimes having a friend can help but never forget your why!!

Hopefully this helped and provided some insight on the next steps to take.
