Tip 1: Decide that you need to start a fitness journey

Needs are stronger than wants. The drive to accomplish and obtain what one needs very often makes the difference in whether you actually get there or not.

Tip 2: Write down your 4 W's.

What are your fitness goals?

When are you getting started?

Where is your training going to take place?

Why are you doing this?

Tip 3: Use Resources

Research and hire a personal trainer. Also, do your own knowledge seeking via books & the internet. There's plenty of free information out there.

Tip 4: Be Consistent

Keep consistency in the front of your mind. Apply it to everything. Make a schedule you can manage and stick to it. Your trainer will help you with diet and exercise but you still must be consistent.

Tip 5: Motivate

Watch motivating fitness videos to keep your spirits high for when you lose your motivation, have an off day, or just feel like being lazy.

Tip 6: Pace

Take on one goal at a time. Your journey can change at any time but focus on hitting one goal first then hit the next to gain a sense of accomplishment and review notes when you decide to do something different.
