Always dress comfortably for your workouts. If you work out at a fitness center, there can be some pressure to dress in the latest workout attire, but resist it. Make sure that you wear clothes that are comfortable when you are working out. If you wear the proper clothes for you, you won't be distracted from your fitness routine by concern over your appearance.

Because exercising will only burn so many calories, some people will go too far with their exercise routines. Overdoing exercise is dangerous for many reasons. You can damage joint and muscles, including your heart, dehydrate yourself, and stop fat from being metabolized properly.

Stretching should be part of your exercise routine, no matter who you are. Stretching beforehand warms and limbers your muscles. Stretching afterward avoids muscles strains. Injuries are more likely to happen if you don't take the time to stretch well. When you stretch your muscles, it warms them up before your workout and relaxes them after your workout.

Fitness begins with a healthy heart. Excess weight can put your heart in a very unhealthy position when working out. Heart health can be improved with exercise and fitness, and it can also aid in weight loss. However, you should also make adjustments or modifications to your diet. Remember to reduce your calorie intake, eat plenty of vegetables and consume more fiber.

Ask a friend to run with you. A motivated friend who is in great shape is the perfect choice. Your fit friend is a true representation of where you want to get to. By exercising with someone who is faster or works harder than yourself, you will become motivated to catch up to or even surpass their level of fitness.

Practice proper deep breathing techniques when you are going for a run. Your body requires plenty of oxygen while working out, so try to breathe long and deep enough that your belly extends when you inhale. Doing this often will also increase the amount of air your lungs can hold.

To avoid injuring your lower back, proper sit-up form is essential. Place a Swiss ball underneath your lower back to workout your ab muscles more effectively. You can put too much strain on your back if you anchor your feet while doing sit-ups.

 If you're "of a certain age," consider joining a gym. Joining a gym doesn't have to be for young people. Many gyms are happy to welcome and accommodate older members. A gym employee knows which type or routines or classes will fit your age group and needs. The more you work out, the more comfortable you will be exercising around people of all ages.

If you begin to feel any fatigue or pain in your joints, you should visit your doctor. If the pain is sporadic, documenting everything you do and when you have pain can help you find the root cause.
