Ok so you have had a little talk with yourself about how you operate and what your needs are, now what? Now you start to try out different options. I wouldn’t recommend starting with a gym unless you can get a one month membership or a month to month membership. The problem I find with gyms is that they like to lock you in for long term memberships. I have nothing against going to the gym but it must be the right choice for you.

Try some classes at your local recreation centre, get a few friends together to create a walking club, or contact a personal trainer. The key is to try as many options as you can until you find the right option for you. If it isn’t right for you you will only make excuses. Be careful when you start though. I often see people do too much too soon and either get injured or burn out.

I would suggest a basic fitness assessment that includes heart rate, blood pressure, weight and measurements. It’s is extremely important to have a benchmark of where you started.
