Most of those whom I know had started several times to follow a physical fitness program but after a week or two they stopped and that is because of the wrong start they had. The real trick is to start your fitness program gradually and through known criteria so you do not feel bored and cease your practicing.

It is very important to start step by step. A common mistake is to jump from square one to square three because you want to see results quickly. The real problem is that you will feel that you are tired and you will not continue practicing. On the other hand, if you take it gradually then your body will get used to exerting effort and you will be able to keep up with the training dose and increase it with time. Another important advantage of taking it gradually is that your body will start to elevate its metabolic rate to cope with the increasing physical effort exerted. If you increased your practicing level suddenly then your body won’t be able to produce the required energy and you will feel fatigue.

You do not need to buy fancy equipment in order to feel fit. All you need is a pair of running shoes, fitness mat and some simple equipment and you will have enough to build a high level of fitness. Start with 15 minutes running in the morning and 3 sets of push – ups and crunches. After one week increase the running time to 20 minutes and increase the number of sets without increasing the number of reps. After another week you can increase running according to your body response and start increasing the number of reps per set. The next stage is to decrease the gap between sets in order to build stamina. This simple program is capable of making you more than fit in couple of months.
