How to Start Workout at Home

There are many reasons why people do not work out, being they are scared to go to the gym, they are too busy during the day, or even they do not believe that have a big enough space at home to fulfill all of their workout needs.  However, I am here to tell you that there is not a huge need to go to the gym, you do not need hours to work out, and you do not need a humungous space filled with machines and all of that extra stuff.  In order to start working out, you need two things:
  1. Your body weight
  2. A willpower to keep doing the simple things I am going to tell you
To start working out at home, all you need to do is push-ups, sit-ups, and cardio.  Yes, this is only the start and you will probably need some equipment in the future, but right now we are only focused on how to get started.  This is the same exact way that I started and I will tell you how I did it.  The first thing that I did was before every shower I took I either did 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, or a combination of both.  As well as that, when I was watching tv or playing video games I would do push-ups during the commercial breaks or when I was not playing.  

The next thing you should do along with push-ups and sit-ups is get cardio in.  This can either be a short run, a bike ride, or even just a walk.  The key to this, however, is not to get lazy with yourself.  Each day you should be adding the distance or the number of push-ups you do.  

There are a few tips that I would like to give before I end this post
  1. Set a goal for yourself each week
  2. Anything is a starting point even if it is just ten push-ups a day
  3. Try to accomplish more than you did the day before

When should I do cardio?

 One thing that I have never agreed with when it comes to the fitness "experts" is when you should do your cardio workout.  Many of them say that you should do your strength or weight training and then perform your cardio workout.  However, I have done both cardio before weights and cardio after weights and I feel that one is a lot better than the other.  I am easily on the side of waking up in the morning going outside and getting a nice jog in.  I noticed when I performed cardio first, that I felt more energized during my strength training and I also felt more awake.  If I just started doing strength training, I felt myself being tired and losing focus easily.  As well as that, when I performed my cardio first, I thought of it as a way to stretch out my entire body.  It loosens you up and you will feel a lot more ready for whatever else you have planned for the day.   So basically, I am saying that I completely disagree with the people...

My story about Exercising Again and How I overcome the difficulties in front of me

 This post is going to be a little bit different and tell the story of what happened to me and why I started to exercise.  I hope my story will push you to work out or show you how it is possible to lose weight. I think it is important to mention that in High School, I was always playing sports or working out so when Covid first hit I did not know what to do.  I was in college and was liked in our apartment with nothing to do.  So what do all college kids do?  We were playing video games all day and then on the weekends would start to drink.  These two things do not go well with each other when you are not having any sort of physical activity.  So, this was on for a few months, and I hadn't noticed any change until I stepped on the scale.  This was the heaviest I have ever been in my life and I was in really good shape at one point and was very muscular.  So I knew I had to do something about this.  Two things really motivated me to work...

Personal Interview with a Role Model For Me

I think that most of the time we do not look at our friends as role models or someone to look up to, but rather as peers or equals.  However, this is different for me with one of my friends who I asked a few questions.  This is the guy that got me started on my workout journey and is even more dedicated than me and knows about every ingredient of every food that he puts into his body.  So for this blog, I am interviewing my friend Nick. The first question that I asked was, "Do you have any tips for people that are trying to get into working out?" Nick answered, " I tried to have someone go with me at first.  It was hard to have the motivation every day to get up and go do something so I defiantly recommend having someone to do it with.  Another thing was just figuring out what worked for me.  I am the type of person that really enjoyed getting up early and that way I could be done for the day.  At first, I couldn't lift heavy weights or run 2 miles but...
