It’s generally accepted that aerobic exercises are unlimited and at your disposal. There are so many choices when it comes to picking a good fitness workout. You could run around your house each day for 20 minutes and achieve your goal. But, you will more likely have success with a variety of exercises that you enjoy.
Find a "Go To" Exercise: Try to find something you can use as a motivator to your fitness routine. This can become your "go to" exercise. Many times, just starting is the biggest hurdle to overcome.
Keep Challenging Yourself: In the beginning, your body is challenged, but eventually it’s conditioned to handle the stress. The body needs to be continuously challenged to see results. Slowly put a little more stress on the body, burn a few more calories, and develop more lean muscle tissue.
Raise Your Heart Rate: Most experts recommend elevating your heart rate to 60-85% of your maximum heart rate, but remember, it’s only a recommendation and there is room for personal adjustment.
Start Small: Try starting out with 10 minutes, 2-3 days a week. It’s okay if you finish thinking it wasn't hard and that you could have done more – that’s what the next day is for. It becomes a challenge.
Try Circuit Training: A circuit usually consists of 6-15 exercises, in which you move from one exercise to the next with little or no rest. This allows your heart rate to stay elevated, and helps you enjoy a variety of different exercises while getting a full body workout and the benefits of aerobic effort.
Stay Loose: It’s important to warm up and stretch before exercising. You'll be able to perform better during the workout, and your body will have a faster recovery once you're done.
