start off any new exercises with ease

always warm up and stretch carefully before training

to burn fat train aerobically (or within your target heart rate zone)

walk or swim more than exercises that bear body weight on joints to prevent injury

train with a partner if possible

try new activities or exercises to maintain interest and keep motivation high

try not to miss a workout within the first 8 weeks

do not eat 2 hours before exercise if you must - select fruit

drink plenty of water before, during and after exercise
