What's the story

Working out the muscles of your body is important to keep it healthy, and in today's world where most of us lead a sedentary lifestyle, it is all the more necessary to make a conscious effort to move your body.

If you're new to the workout game, worry not, because we have got you covered on how to adopt and stick to a routine.

Requirements

Set up a space and allocate specific time for workout

Allocating a specific place for your workouts is required to blend in with your new routine easily.

For starters, you don't have to go all out and invest in expensive equipment. All you would need is a yoga mat to help you set up your space.

It is also important to decide and stick to a specific time for your workout sessions.

Dress

Once you are on it, invest in workout gear

Comfortable workout gear is always a better option than a pajama or night-dress.

The right workout gear has to be breathable, specially designed to protect the skin against sweat, and should act against bacterial growth.

Comfortable clothes are also important to give you confidence and get you in the right frame of mind where you worry less about the dress and focus on exercising.

Download and maintain an app to track your progress

Having an app to track your progress will give you the right motivation to stick to your workout routine on days when you feel lethargic.

There are a number of fitness apps and gadgets that are available to cater to all categories of workout enthusiasts.

You can also log in your calorie intake and dietary habits for a better idea of your daily pattern.

Food habits

Know the importance of pre- and post-workout meals

It's of paramount importance that you watch your food habits before and after your workout.

Do not go overboard by making your workouts a reason for you to eat more.

A small banana about half an hour before exercising is good pre-workout food.

Having a healthy smoothie post-workout helps promote muscle recovery and puts you in a better position for your next workout.

Done!
