A Beginner Home Exercise Routine

Google
 
A home exercise routine can be incorporated by anyone. A large area or an enormous home gym and treadmill are not necessary components. However, if you do have them be sure to incorporate them into your home exercise routine. Before beginning any new routine it is always advisable to check with your physician first.

An effective exercise routine should consist of 3-5 workouts a week at a length of 20-60 minutes. The wide range accounts for your beginning level of fitness. Before planning your routine it is a good idea to write down one or two goals for why you want to exercise. This article will focus on general health improvements for the beginning exerciser.

In the early phases of exercise it is important to start slowly, you do not want to overtrain, either physically or mentally. Plan to workout 4 days a week for 30 minutes. Two days will be devoted to resistance training and the other 2 days will be aerobic workouts.

All exercises should be done with dumbbells. A weight should be used that will allow you to lift 20 reps but struggle on the last 2. As you get stronger and more comfortable with your new routine add more sets and increase the number of times per week you workout. Always remember to take 48 hours off between your resistance training workouts. In the beginning you will use Wednesday as your recovery day.
