Instructions to start an exercise routine
- The first thing we must do to achieve an exercise routine and not abandon it is to look for something that we really like, a sport or physical activity that gives us pleasure to practice beyond the effort required to put it into practice. If it is difficult to maintain consistency in an exercise routine that we like, it will be much more difficult if we do not like the activity.

- Moderation is to start an exercise routine is essential. You have time to increase the effort.
- Find the company of another person or a group, this is very good to start with an exercise routine and create this healthy habit. Look for someone to accompany you, perhaps between the two of you they can achieve more than each one separately. But be aware! You must not depend on another to fulfill your purpose, you must be independent. If one day he can’t, don’t say “then I’m not going”.
