How to Start a Fitness Routine in 2022

Scene: It's the beginning of 2022 and you decide "This year I am going to get in shape."

Okay now what?!

You do what every modern day woman or man would do... you google it! You type in“how to start a workout routine,” you see some great advice from renowned sources.

For example, the Mayo Clinic has five steps for you, with instructions under each heading:

1. Assess fitness level.

2. Design program.

3. Assemble equipment.

4. Start.

5. Monitor progress. 

We’re not going to argue with the Mayo Clinic! But let's be real...those five steps are really far from simple for the average person.

For example, most people don’t know how to assess their fitness level, and even fewer know how to design a program and monitor progress. 

And while you can start a program with minimal equipment, fitness equipment isn’t cheap. So if you buy anything, you want to make the right decision. But what do you buy? And is that salesperson correct in saying you “absolutely must have this gear—and this supplement at half off”?

Let’s be clear: We want you to start a fitness program in 2022, and any activity is better than no activity. You can literally start with a simple program that involves going for a short daily walk. From there you can increase the distance a little every day, and you’ll see some progress!

But the Mayo Clinic list puts a lot of pressure on a person to research, plan, purchase and assess. That can be totally overwhelming! We have seen this stress before. A lot of our current clients came to us after trying to start a program but becoming totally overwhelmed and confused. Some even quit trying altogether before eventually calling us.

We’re going to simplify the Mayo Clinic list for you: All you have to do is work on Number 4.

Just start by coming to talk to us. That’s it. Forget all the other stuff that can get complicated. You’re in charge of Number 4 only. We’ve got everything else covered!
