If you really want to get fit through exercise, you are going to have to take that first step and actually start doing it. It might seem like you will have along way to go in order to reach your fitness goals, but you will never get there if you don’t decide to start.
If you are just beginning on your path to fitness, here are the key things to keep in mind:
Know that the Soreness Goes Away - If you have never really been an active person before, it is important to know that after your first workout, you are probably going to be pretty sore for a few days. Even people who are experienced exercisers get sore once in a while, but it is especially pronounced in those new to exercise. Don’t worry, it’s the worst at the beginning and it gets rapidly better as you stick to your exercise routine.
Take It Slow At First - The key here is that you should be exerting yourself, but not totally exhausting yourself right out of the gate. You want to be challenged, certainly, but don’t try to push yourself to the limit. At this early stage of your fitness career, your body and muscles are probably only accustomed to mild increases in heart rate and lifting small weights. When you increase the stress on your body too much, too fast, it can cause muscle cramps or even injury.
Get Educated - The main difference between exercisers who struggle for months and never see any progress and the ones who can consistently get more and more fit is education. The more you learn about diet, exercise, and how your body works, the more you will be able to accomplish. While fitness books are a fantastic resource, you don’t even have to spend any money on books to learn about diet and fitness. I have personally have had clients acquire enough knowledge to rival that of an experienced personal trainer just by constantly reading articles, websites, and blogs on fitness just like this one.
Try a little of Everything - The world of exercise is wide open to you, and it is to your benefit to explore everything that it has to offer. Jogging not your style? You might try jump roping instead for cardio. Not a big fan of lifting weights? You might instead do yoga for strength and flexibility. No matter what you goal and no matter what your preferences are, you are sure to find an exercise that you both enjoy and can help you meet your fitness goals.
Trying a bunch of things actually has a few benefits. Firstly, it will help you get an understanding of what you like most in the exercise world, and help it become more fun for you. Secondly, a variety of exercise will actually help work your body better. By working your muscle in different ways, you stimulate them in different ways, and therefore encourage the most possible muscle growth and fat loss.

给运动新手的小建议
如果你是真的想通过锻炼来获得健康，那么你就不得不切实采取第一个步骤并开始实施它。也许这令你的健身目标太远，然而如果你不决定要开始的话你将永远都达不到目标。
如果你刚刚开始你健康的征程，这里有熟记于心的关键的东西：
知道痛苦会走开-如果你之情从未是一个真正积极的人，要知道在你的第一次尝试之后，你很可能痛苦好几天。甚至有经验的运动者会偶尔觉得疼痛，但是这对刚刚开始运动的人尤为显著。别担心，在开始的时候是最痛苦的，如果你坚持你的运动例程，情况会很快变好。
刚开始时要慢：这里关键就是你应该尽自己的全力，但是不要竭尽全力到筋疲力尽。你当然应该具有挑战力，但是不要尝试把自己推想极限。在这个你适应速度的最早的阶段，你的身体很肌肉很可能只是习惯性地轻微增快心率和轻微加重负担。当你对你的身体增加太多太快的压力时，这会使肌肉抽筋或者甚至是受伤。
要受过教育—一个月内获得成效的运动者和从来没看到任何进步的运动，还有一贯都得到更多的成效的运动者中最主要的不同是在于教育。对于饮食，运动和身体的运作你懂得越多，你就越能成功。因为健康书籍是一种空想的资源，你甚至不用花一分钱去买书来学习饮食和健康。我个人已经有获得足够的知识去与只是喜欢经常阅读有关健康文章，网页和博客的有经验的个人训练者相匹敌了。
每一件事都要尝试一点—运动这个词对你来说很宽泛，它有益于你探究它所提供的每一样东西。慢跑不是你的风格？你也许会尝试冲刺跳远而不是立定跳远。对举重并不是很感兴趣？你应该做瑜伽来获得力量和弹性。不管你的目标是什么，也不管你的表现怎样，你要找到一种你既喜欢又能帮助你达到健康目的的运动。
尝试一大堆的东西其实你能得到一些好处。首先，这将能帮助你了解在运动的世界里你最喜欢什么，也能让你对对它有更多的兴趣。其次，多种运动实际上能让你的身体运转得更好。用不同的方式锻炼你的肌肉，从而他们得到不同方式的刺激，因而能鼓励最有可能的肌肉发育，还能燃烧脂肪。
