So conduct some research before you try and exercise. Are you like many others and have very little free time in your life? Break your workout into two sessions. You don't have to workout for a longer period of time; just split one workout in half. As an example, instead of jogging for an entire hour, jog for a half-hour in the early morning and then for another half-hour later on in the day. If going to the gym is part of your routine, do this once during the day and then use another exercise for the second part of your day. If you want to tone the triceps, you should do simple push-ups. Try to avoid normal pushups though, but target the tricep muscles by merely shifting your hands so that your fingertips touch and your hands are following a 45 degree angle. These modified puships will help you tone and shape the triceps better than anything else. Always keep track of your exercises. Write down every exercise you do and every morsel of food you put into your body. Even document how beautiful the day is. You will be able to reflect on any highs or lows if you do. If you had to put off exercising a little while, note why. Wall sits are great for building up your quad muscles and improving leg strength. To start, find a clear space of wall that will easily fit the width of your body. Maintain a distance of a foot and a half, turned away from the wall. You need to lean back and bend your knees against the wall. After that you want to keep bending your knees so that your thighs are level to the floor, ending up so it looks like you're sitting. Hold this position for as long as you possibly can. There are many exercises that are qualified as fitness, and many ways to get motivated. You have to seek out an exercise that works with your lifestyle. The good thing about a fitness program is that you can tailor it to meet your needs. As you gain more knowledge about fitness, you will gain more enjoyment from the process.
