We all want to get fit, its something that is in our waking lives everywhere. We see the adverts for fitness DVDs, programs and Fitness Gyms on TV and radio. Every time you turn the page of a magazine there is a slim, trim young man or woman staring at you!
It can be really hard to know where to start but having an understanding of exactly what you want to achieve is really the best way to begin.
Now, once you have decided to take the plunge and get fit there are several important things you need to be aware of. Here I want to provide you with a sound knowledge of some of these important points to bear in mind before you commit to any gym, program or regimen.

1. Whatever you read or see about workouts designed for specifically men or women, they are pretty much a load of rubbish. What makes men and women different from one another is genetic make up and hormones. Other than this and some of the obvious differences, we are pretty much the same and whatever workout we do will have different effects on our bodies. If you are a woman and you weight train along side cardio fitness and a healthy diet you won't end up looking like a muscular, vein throbbing man (unless you want to).
2. Find your motivation before you start. It is no good going out and buying all the best quality gear for getting fit if it just sits in your wardrobe and never sees the light of day. You have to find you reason for wanting to get fit, join a buddy group or get a friend who is just as keen. Having someone else to chime you along is a great motivational giver.

If you focus on having a healthy diet with plenty of lean meats, vegetables, fruit and some carbs you will find it far quicker to lose the excess and begin to see results.
