When planning your workouts, it's important to take baby steps. Think big, but not too big. So often, people get all excited, and then burn themselves out. If you are someone that is just getting back into working out, take it slow. Your body is like a car. If you have a car that’s been parked for a long time, most likely you will need to warm it up before you take it out for a spin, especially if it’s an older car.
Being competitive is great, but know who your competition is. If you’re in your mid-40’s for example, the 21-year-old stud next to you is probably not going to be a good person to compare yourself with.
Many people have taken my classes, get discouraged, and give up because they can’t keep up. You are only as good as your body allows! Working out takes patience and most important, time. If you can put time into sitting on your butt watching your favorite television show, then you can put time into working out. Here is my advice when you’re in your next exercise class: Find the oldest person in the exercise class and compare yourself to him or her. Believe me you will feel like a million bucks!
