If you have a family history of heart disease, check with your doctor first. Get a physical examination and take a graded exercise test before beginning a workout regimen.
TAKE YOUR TIME
Muscular adaptation and elasticity are usually slowed with age. So if you are older, take more time to warm up and cool down and also remember to stretch slowly.
GET HEALTHY
Exercising regularly shouldn’t hurt. However, you might experience a little soreness or feel tired when you begin working out. Make sure to start slowly and gradually progress into harder exercises and longer sets. You will feel healthier and more energized in the long run.

Setting Goals
The goals you put out for yourself should be realistic. Remember to choose a workout regimen that you will like, increase the intensity as you progress and always listen to what your body is telling you even your feet. Also, always drink fluids, especially in the hot summer days and when exercising hard. This will prevent you from experiencing a heat stroke and heat exhaustion.
STRETCH OUT FIRST
First try the repetitions with no weight. This will stretch the muscle you are targeting. Gradually, add resistance with homemade or purchased weights.
