How to start working out, from someone who went from never exercising to being a powerlifter and spinning instructor

Key Points

Before I started exercising, I was intimidated by the weight-lifting area of the gym.I decided to prepare myself to work out and spent hours reading about and practicing movements.Now.

Imagine that you will prioritize doing the activity you enjoy, with exercise as a mere side effect.. Day 6. Pretend you're going to exercise tomorrow, prepare everything, and then don't do it..

I know it sounds strange, but if you slot an imaginary workout class into your calendar, set your clothing out, and fill your water bottle for the next morning, and then don't go, you'll probably feel a little agitated that you prepared for nothing..

Maybe you buy the items you need, purchase a workout-class reservation, make a plan to run with a friend, or do more specific research to prepare for your first day in the weight room...

Preparing to exercise before you ever exercise is the same thing: You get into the mindset of an exerciser (and tackle all the necessary logistics), and you begin to feel better and more motivated by exercise all without touching a single dumbbell or taking a single step..
