Though starting a new workout program can be intimidating, it’s really simple at the end of the day. If you want to be more active and healthy, you should look at exercising with a straightforward approach.
There are many ways to look at fitness. If you want to reap the benefits of an exercise program, here are simple strategies you can use in developing your plan.
- Listen to What Your Body Needs
Your body knows exactly what it needs so that you are prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally. Therefore, you should listen closely to what it needs and not go by just what others are saying.
For instance, if you’re starting a fitness routine for the first time, you should test your body in the first 10 minutes of exercise. The best strategy is to exercise at a brisk pace and exercise to maximum output.
- Remember That the Body Is Simple
Your exercise should be simple. Your body doesn’t need a lot of complicated movements or complicated workouts.
The body responds best to simple exercises, like walking, running, or jumping. As a beginner, you can boost this value of easy activities over complicated ones by focusing more on the quality of your exercises instead of just the quantity.
- Stick with the Exercises That You Love
It’s not just about choosing the right exercise; you should choose the exercise you love.
The more you love what you do, the more likely you’ll stick with however many minutes or hours you’ve set out to do. Furthermore, you can have fun with the exercise you are doing because you love it.
- Set Realistic Goals
Setting realistic goals doesn’t mean forcing yourself to do more than you can handle. Instead, you should have realistic expectations instead of very high goals.
No matter what your goal, it’s wise to be real and practical with your exercise habits. You should start small to build exercise as part of your life.
- Work with a Personal Trainer
Personal trainers can help you do several things. First of all, they can help you develop a one-on-one fitness routine that fits you perfectly.
Furthermore, they can help you set realistic goals based on your present condition. Personal trainers can help you develop a routine. They can also help you deviate from your harmful habits and move in a more positive direction.
Final Thoughts
The key to successfully bringing exercise into everyday life is to make a plan and stick to it. You should also commit to making exercise a part of your daily routine.

Chad has been my personal trainer for over 10 years. He is very dedicated and resourceful as a trainer. I would highly recommend Chad. He has kept my body healthy through all these years and in my 50s. Chad is also very accommodating to working with your schedule. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
I love working out with Chad! I have been working out with him for the past year and a half and have had the best results compared with other trainers. Chad’s dedication to his clients, humor, warmth and expertise are a winning combination. I look forward to our sessions and always leave feeling stronger, more flexible and energetic. I highly recommend Chad.
I have been working with Chad (the trainer) for almost three years now and have gone through an amazing transformation! He bonds greatly with his clients and is a very qualified trainer. He tailors workouts to individual clients and has helped me perform better as an equestrian and achieve my physique goals. If you are looking for a great one-on-one trainer, I would highly recommend.
When I started going to the fit factor I went in thinking I had a pretty good knowledge of weight lifting and exercise without having much to improve. I was so wrong! Chad was incredible and really took the time to explain and show proper technique as well as a variety of different exercises that I had never done before. I now have much more confidence in my form and have a really great and well rounded routine. Additionally, Chad catered to my personal goals and really listened to what I wanted to accomplish. I cannot recommend The fit factor and Chad enough!
I have been weight lifting for over five years but have never had dedicated instruction from a trainer. Chad was able to notice where my form was failing and correct it immediately. He also guided me towards effective exercises so that I could keep achieving my goals and moving up. After a couple of months of working with him I was able to see some great results. Chad knows his stuff!
Chad has been great with not only the types of specialized workouts each session but also with checking in after the sessions. He has a real passion for seeing people make big health changes; which makes it fun. Would highly recommend!
I went to Chad looking to get back in shape and lose weight, which had crept up from working long hours. Chad was super patient and non-judgmental. We started at a level where I would see results but not get so sore or so disappointed at what I could not do it. He focused on what I could do if I pushed myself hard and taught me that step/skill building was an integral part of the process. We also talked about nutrition and self-care. As other reviews have mentioned, he cares about his clients beyond the appointment time, and wants them to make positive change to their lives that will stick. I lost 30+ pounds and I am in the best shape of my life. I have been able to maintain this for 2 years. He taught me how to create a sustainable workout plan. Even during the pandemic I was able to maintain my weight and my fitness level thanks for his frequent check-ins and the solid fitness base we created through his work and fitness mentorship. I highly recommend him!
I started with Chad in August 2020, my first semester of college was cancelled and i needed something active to do. At that point I was a small underweight kid looking to gain muscle and gain weight. I went to Chad 3 times a week until late January 2021. Those 5 months were great, I really enjoyed going to chad and it was the highlight of my week and something I would look forward to going to 3 times every week. Throughout this time Chad has perfected my form on workouts and had a great and unique workout for me everytime. I went in weighing 125 pounds at 5’10 and now I weigh 150 pounds after the five months. Not only did Chad give workouts but he also gave me a diet for me to follow so I could maximize my time with him. He really personalizes workouts for each person. Currently i’m in the best shape of my life and am super confident in my body. GO TO FIT-FACTOR!!
