How to Start Working Out as a Beginner (The Habit of Exercise)
Video taken from the channel: ModernHealthMonk
You should walk a minimum of 3-4 times per week (every other day). For weight loss, you should walk most days of the week, at least five days per week. Walking at least every other day is best.
That won’t always be possible, but try not to skip more than two days in a row.Start out warming up with a five-minute, slower paced walk. Slow your pace to cool down during the last five minutes of your walk.
Start at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Then gradually pick up speed until you’re walking briskly — generally about 3 to 4 miles an hour.Walking is a beneficial exercise.
Make it a habit by heading out every day for 65 days, challenging yourself with goals and going with a friend.A workable schedule for some is Sunday off, and crosstraining on Wednesday. As a beginner you may want to get the walking habit down before you add crosstraining to your routine.
It is natural to feel a little tired or have a few muscle aches when beginning a fitness program. Do.Getting Started The best way to transform a walking habit into a fitness routine is to prioritize it – keep these tips in mind: Set goals – start with a small goal like walking 15 minutes each day during lunch. Work your way up gradually week by week to hit new goals whether it is faster speeds, longer bouts, or different terrains.Get some sun (or a happy light, if it’s a gray day.) Move your body (walk, exercise) for 20 minutes or longer.
In fact, you can build a great habit by starting a walking routine. Walk a.The small habits could include identifying three priority tasks for the day, picking the “next steps” for your top projects, removing distractions, and starting your day by working on the hardest task.Create a prerun routine to cue your body and mind that it’s time to run, and repeat it every time you go.
Always go at the same time of day. Put your workout clothes next to your bed. Put on your.
Onc e you turn your walking routine into a daily habit, you won’t have to worry about motivation – you’ll just get out and walk!You can start creating a daily habit today that will make hitting your step goals a breeze, but you do have to actively make it happen. The good news is that once you’ve built up your everyday walking habit, that 10,000 step goal will become a basic part of.Going for a quick walk is better than sitting on the couch; one minute of activity will help you lose more weight than no activity at all. That said, the current recommendations for most adults is to reach at least 150 minutes of moderate activity per week.
You’ll get there by exercising for 30 minutes, 5 times a week.Schedule Your Walks. A lot of people make a goal to walk every day, but quickly find that other things get in the way. If you struggle to find time during your day to squeeze a walk in, don’t just leave it to chance.
Schedule your walks the way you would an appointment!Whatever works for you and your schedule. Want to stop drinking a 2 liter of Mountain Dew every day? Scale it back to 1.9 liters a day for a week. Then 1.8 for a week.
Then 1.7 Want to get out of debt and build the habit of frugality? Start by saving an extra five bucks a day, or finding a way to earn an extra 5 bucks a day.WebMD has compiled 10 tips for making fitness a habit in your life. To create the list, we sought the help of Klein, along with long-term fitness buff Roy Stevens and his wife, Wanda, who is.
The sample walking program below is a guide to help you get started. Your walking sessions may be longer or shorter than this sample program, based on your ability. If you are walking less than three times per week, give yourself more than 2 weeks before adding time to your walk.
Make it fun. The best way to stick to your habit is to make it enjoyable. To do so, switch up your walking route once a week.
If your walk normally takes you through town, try walking some trails instead for a change of scenery. Nature walks actually enhance the benefits of walking, too. Uneven terrain can help you get a better walking workout.

Have a week when you move around and work out a lot for a few minutes every hour or two everyday, soo a normal week of working out once a day would feel like a reward.
With hangers you spend less time plying n keeping or putting cloth inside or whatever
I actually experienced this, I just never really thought of it. I used to play a lot of videogames on my computer, and since I had to move I had my desktop unplugged, just sitting in the desk without any cable. And just to avoid getting on all the hassle of looking for the cable, plugging it and all I went for like 2 weeks without playing at all.
I’m in the habit of walking but I haven’t linked it to something else
Is that taipei 101 on the background? I hope you enjoyed Taiwan!
I’d be interested in a break down of maintaining creative habits
No. 7, to bond with someone or live with someone. After living with roommates and so I feel like living my myself is best most times. I stress and worry less. I also need silence to recharge but my husband doesn’t quite get that. He always needs noise.����♀️
I can’t wake up early. I have delayed sleep disorder that is very stubborn. I do wake up early enough to make breakfast, though. I’m lucky that I start work in the late morning.
Love the apartment door!
Seriously, the “cue” thing sounds very effective. Thank you very much! I’ve just realized I’m already doing it. I’ve been struggling for a long time to do my eye exercises daily. They only take five minutes but I just got sidetracked every day and never got around to them. Then gradually, I started doing my eye exercises as I listened to motivational videos on Youtube (usually yours). Now I’ve developed a habit: every time I open Youtube I find a nice video and start doing those exercises. Perfect! I don’t even notice it anymore, it’s an ingrained habit. But I did’t realize I was using the “cue” method. I’m gonna try it with something else now! Thank you!
Can you get Master of the day in bookstores in the UK??? Don’t want to have to order it from the US… keep up the good stuff I love the positivity and the fact you “keep it real” without it being super cliche or cringey all the time which is something pretty rare x
What kind of camera/ settings to get great lighting like this video? Thanks
Great! Mine: Breathing (diaphramic), Diet (whole plant food) & Supplement (medically advised), Laugh, Exercise, Learn (whatever / science), Read A Positive Belief System, Music (uplifting), Fast (after 6), Seek Beauty (in all), Sleep, Work (as worship), Help / Teach:-) Most concepts by Abdul-Baha, Baha’i Faith
Good stuff Alex, your video quality is outstanding!:D Which camera do you use out of curiosity?
I would have thought it would be better to create your to do list the evening before. Same with preparing your clothes, washing dishes etc.
i aways believe in small steps leading regular habits and big results. i have started eating healthy in May. completed a 30 day fitness plan in 35 days in May-June. all of this is the prep for a more intense workout plan with the goal of gaining weight and muscle. completed 2 days of the 3 month plan today. thanks for your tips on healthy living and achieving our goals.
habit anchoring works better if tied to old habit or daily routine.
Can you create something around on how philosophy can help people achieve their career goals if we just fill the connection right!
I am switching Gyms I hope this will help me more motivated They have 3 times the classes almost every hr. so No excuses for me missing classes, I will have My In-laws as Accountably partners they all go there, I am the type of person that I need someone to hold my feet to the fire, They have Olympic, Indoor and out door pool And whirlpool And Cafe and Massages, spa area, I have never been so excited in my life About A gym So far I am going to 2 classes A day And Swimming with my in-laws my other gym was so depressing And Had hardly none of this, the only reason I stayed was because I loved my yoga teacher, so I am feeling like A trader right now, but I can’t stay just because of one instructor, we can still do things together I just hope the newness of this new gym doesn’t wear off
can you make video about how to orgineze our studying at summer?
great video by the way I like this way to change your habits:)
watched this video when I jus came back from 75 min run feel awesome
The true power of thought and then putting the other pieces together ��
Thank you! I was thinking about this hahaha. Love your video’s! They make me feel like I can really change my life! And that’s great! After al those years of negative thoughts:)
I’m so glad I found you on youtube:)
Thank you so much Alex!! New city, new habits, just in time! ��❤️
Hey Alex!!!! Can u make a video on building a habit of drinking the right amount of water everyday.
Hi I really like farting but I don’t have the motivation to pump them out every time, is the any way I can get around this? Many thanks to what your doing, really helping me with my problems
Dangit. I’ve only been meditating for 5 hrs. Thats where I went wrong. ������
The part about having a bare minimum routine is extremely helpful also waking up to something you like sounds like a good reason to get up early as i strugglr with this
Worth Watching Though
TIP 1 0:32 Compile inspiration
TIP 2 1:32 Design Routine
TIP 3 3:58 Adjust your Routine
TIP 4 5:03 Utilize
TIP 5 6:29 Make your Routine Fun
Anyone else feel like they just watched five minutes of someone speaking but he didnt actually say anything?
Thank you for your video�� since i have given up social media i have completely solved my sleep disorder! Very nice advice on many topics. It is so importsnt to adjust the routine for slow days…otherwise it is very easy to get stressed.
This is a great philosophy and now that I think about it, I’ve been doing this already with some of my habits but I understand now this is the reason some attempts failed so far! Great video, great explanation ��
I follow the book “ The Miracle Morning” first thing and then write down my intention for the day as well as the top 3 things I want to get done
I think the first tip is the one I will start right now: Writing down at the back of the page what needs to be in my routine. So I will follow Tip# Compile Inspiration in the back of your planner.
Aloha Thomas. I am a sleep technologist, been studying sleep medicine (listening to people’s morning/night habits) for nearly 14 years, in hopes of getting my Phd in sleep. I can tell you that your habits truly make or break your health, which correlates to your success in life as you agree. I appreciate your content. I’m all about tweaking my own habits. One thing I highly suggest is to invest in a light therapy box to be by your bedside table. When you get up, turn it on. It sets your circadian rythm. I have it on for at least 15 minutes while I meditate in bed and when I write at least one gratitude sentence in my journal. I also will do a five minute stretching yoga near my bed in the morning (I have a yoga mat layed out near my bed that’s permanently there). Yes, OCD routine but to its what works for me and for my patients as they too have incorporated my routine. Using red light therapy is one that I’m incorporating in my routine as well. Have you tried it? Much health benefits. Keep up your work as you inspire me to try new things as well. Mahalo.
I have been using the Habit Tracker pretty extensively the last few weeks in particular, when I need to be accountable for the things in my life that are important, but which may fall by the wayside with stress and forgetfulness. I’m excited when I get a full day checked off, even if I only did a task for a tiny bit per day (like picking up a guitar for 15 minutes). It does build awareness, habit, routine, and sometimes I miss it when I can’t get it into my day. This is so important while we’re dealing with being stuck at home, without outside structure. Thanks!
I don’t think that the to do list is the best way to plan your day
When he said ” I wake up at 3am” bruh I go to bed at 3 am���� and when he said he meditated for 6 hours that just cracked me up����
Great video! Sketchbooks are what i use to draw everyday, I have tour of them on my channel! Your video was really good!
Passion Planner is the best channel for mindset videos and teaching us how to be the best version of ourselves possible ���� I actually created my own channel, ‘Taylor Victoria’, to show even MORE videos like this �� Come and check it out and I will always follow back ��
No. 6 Be thankful… But to whom?
You cannot be thankful to nobody or yourself..
So to whom am I supposed to b thankful?
I heard so much about this being thankful, it makes you feel better…
But if you cannot thank somebody, you in fact are not thankful
So many things… I’ll not remember doing them… I’ll just stay unsuccessful…
I get right up and don’t linger when the alarm goes off in the morning. If I linger, I get behind. I also give myself a time limit for media including such as this. The early morning weekends are when I give myself the most leeway. Good information, Paula!
Morning pages originally came from The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, for what that’s worth! Wanted to reference the source.
Thanks for this video, your content is great! �� You got a new subscriber! �� It would be lovely to cooperate, and I would love some honest feedback from a successful creator like you! Here is my newest channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbcV86SHIhFU8sTi0EwGOdQ �� Keep creating, your videos are awesome!! ����
I would love to see a shot of your idea pages! Thank you for the excellent advice.
Thanks for the helpful tips! I’m trying to be kinder to myself this year. One of the ways I’m doing that is to make sure my daily goals aren’t too lofty. When I aim too high, I often “fail” and then beat myself up and then quit. Not a terribly useful process lol. So I loved what you said about hitting the gym 2-4 times a week. Perfect example! One question, do you use a separate journal for your morning pages? Thanks!
I stopped listening when he said I get up at 3am like bro�� I go to sleep at 5am
“Struggle bus”! haha I like how so many of these videos concentrate on, or at least mention, giving grace to yourself. The PP allows you to not just to plan for the future but to look back so on a week when you’re not doing so hot, flip back to be reminded that you have killed it at one time or another and that you can kill it again. #do-over
This helped out so much! Thank you! (By the way, I follow Lavendaire also! She’s amazing! ��)
I really like what you said about having a daily routine with a “minimal” routine highlighted for the more difficult days. I need to try that!
Recently getting an “accountability partner” has helped me with getting stuff done in general it’s been quite helpful in staying focused and also doing and sticking to monthly/weekly/daily planning. I’m starting to use the Passion Planner calendar pages a lot more often, and I like to use colored dots to mark on the calendar when I’ve accomplished each part of my daily routine.
Super video, thanks!:)
Do you have a video on healthy snack food and ideas for alternating meals? This is something I struggle with. Thanks either way
This was a great video thanks for sharing! I am just starting out with my morning and evening routines and it has been challenging….but I am getting there. This video really gave me some tips I like the part about highlighting what you must do just in case you are overwhelmed, I also like the part about making it fun. It is interesting how you thought outside the box when making it fun by scheduling Netflix in the morning. That makes me think about how I can make mine more fun. Thanks!!
Summary of the VIDEO. 1. Make a do list
2. Take a cold shower
3. Schedule your day
4. Wake up early
5. Affirmations and visualizations
6. Gratitude
7 Bond with some one early
We are calling all Christians to please pray for the U. S.
President. To protect him from
evil in the media and all danger. To bless
him, & to give him wisdom to govern the blessed nation of the United States
of America. And, that to proclaim the
word of our Lord Jesus to each individual soul.
We are now in the end times,
study the KJV Holy Bible.
Every time i wake up in the morning i grab my smartphone and i watch youtube, I’m so addicted to it and it makes me not do my chores, i trying to figure out how to stop the addiction of me using my phone but I’m struggling with it, i got important stuff i need to do but my phone has cool stuff we can do, ( for example) we can watch youtube, we can use snapchat, Twitter instagram and Facebook and that make us so addicted to it. Thank you so much for this video, i need do something lol.
Thank you for help us to be a better successeful people everyday de have more rockbock that don’t let be a successeful or reach our goal
These hand-drawn videos are really annoying. No need to illustrate points with phony animation.
Thank you for this video. I am excited to add some of these to my morning routine. My 1yr old daughter and two yr old son are my bonding in the morning. I love waking up to their faces giving then hugs and kisses and seeing then smile.
I was soo close to clicking out of the video when I heard 6 hours of meditation������
A video on going to sleep early. I swear I always say I will but then the phone turns on.=(
1.Don’t snooze the alarm.. It will give you the first win of the day
So this list is really good the only thing I would change is number 10) I would do read a positive book,
*the magic of thinking big
*The untethered soul
* the bible or quran
If you hit the snooze button in the morning, then you are accepting that the first thing you do that day, is fail.
Powerful.
Great advice. Thanks for sharing this!
If you’re interested in goal setting and habit building, please check out a product called GoalsOnTrack at https://www.goalsontrack.com. It’s designed for helping high achievers to set and track goals by organizing everything you need to do inside a comprehensive goal planning system.
Cold showers don’t work for everyone. Actually it might be dangerous for people with pre existing conditions and as we all know most people in the world are not healthy and suffering from a health issue or two if not more. I personally find warm showers much more effective and soothing. Anyway, boring video!
I love you videos, but can you talk a little slower? It’s hard to keep up sometimes
