How to Start Working Out as a Beginner

Writer: Ian MartensIan Martens

Updated: Jan 8




Starting a fitness journey can be both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you want to build strength, improve endurance, lose weight, or simply lead a healthier lifestyle, the path to fitness can seem daunting at first. But it doesn’t have to be. In this blog, we will walk you through the key steps to start working out as a beginner, and how MF2 Training can support you every step of the way through our free content and personalized paid services.


1. Set Clear and Achievable Fitness Goals

Before jumping into any workout routine, it’s important to establish clear and realistic goals. Ask yourself:

  • Why do I want to start working out?

  • What do I hope to achieve?

  • How much time can I commit to working out each week?


Your goals might include weight loss, building muscle, increasing flexibility, or simply feeling more energized. Once you know what you want, you can begin to tailor your approach to meet these needs.


2. Start Slow and Build Consistency

For beginners, it's essential to ease into the process. Overloading your body with intense workouts right away can lead to injury or burnout. Start with:

  • Basic exercises like bodyweight squats, lunges, push-ups, and light cardio (walking, cycling, or swimming).

  • Short sessions that last about 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times per week.

  • Gradual progression: As your body adapts, you can increase the intensity and duration of your workouts.

Consistency is key to success in fitness. Even if you can only work out for a short amount of time, do it regularly. A few minutes each day is more beneficial than sporadic, intense sessions.


3. Learn Proper Form

It’s easy to fall into the trap of rushing through exercises or trying to lift heavy weights too soon. However, learning proper form is crucial in preventing injuries and ensuring you’re getting the most from each movement. Proper form improves your muscle activation and helps you build strength more efficiently.

At MF2 Training, we emphasize proper technique from day one. Our team of certified trainers will guide you in learning the right form and technique to avoid bad habits and build a solid fitness foundation.


4. Mix Up Your Routine

To keep things exciting and challenging, vary your workouts. This will prevent plateaus and improve overall fitness. A balanced workout routine should include:

  • Strength training: Focuses on building muscle and strength.

  • Cardio: Activities like running, cycling, or swimming for heart health and endurance.

  • Flexibility and mobility exercises: Stretching and yoga can enhance flexibility, reduce stress, and improve recovery.


If you're not sure where to start or how to combine these elements, don’t worry! MF2 Training provides customizable training plans to help you create a well-rounded routine that aligns with your fitness goals.
