Never Exercised before? How to finally start your Exercise Journey.
A new study finds that even if you have never worked out before, you still have the same ability as a world-class athlete to build muscle. But experts caution that a gym novice may want to start off slowly to avoid injury.
Additionally, even small amounts of exercise can make a big difference to your health.
Additionally, even small amounts of exercise can make a big difference to your health.
The process of building muscle begins the second that you ask your muscles to do something challenging and unfamiliar, whether that’s picking up a dumbbell, performing a push up, or sprinting on a treadmill. If the muscle is challenged, it will change.
What happens if you don't exercise? If you do less exercise or activity you will become deconditioned. Your muscles weaken and lose bulk including the muscles you need for breathing and the large muscles in your legs and arms.
You will become more breathless as you do less activity.
If you continue to be inactive you will feel worse, need more help and eventually even simple daily tasks will be difficult.
Start with a light exercise routine, for 30-40 minutes three days a week, and gradually build up to 60-70 minutes a day for 5 days. You can do this in the morning or after work, depending on your preference

Your body needs workouts that cover all components:
Cardiovascular, strength and flexibility. From the beginning, keep in mind that muscle groups should have their own separate days or with some groupings, but don’t try to do everything, every day.
