A Good Exercise Routine For Beginners



It can be hard to stay motivated when you're first starting out. You can easily do a lot of these exercises at home before hitting the gym completely. If you're overweight, then you want to mostly focus on your cardio before you build muscle. Below I have designed a system that will take less than 6 minutes to complete. Doesn't sound that bad, huh? Less than 6 minutes a day, six days a week, is all you need to help yourself get over that bump and start seeing results. If you feel unmotivated for that day, remember to give yourself that much needed electric shock and tell yourself, “It's only 6 minutes”. You probably take longer showers than that.


Set your timer for 8 rounds of 30 seconds work and 10 seconds rest. The goal is do as many reps within 30 seconds. Take a 10 second rest and the move on to the next exercise. There are four exercises below and each round is considered one exercise. So that means after you finish the first four exercises, you'll do it again for the second time to complete the full 8 rounds.

  • Jumping Jacks
  • Squats
  • Skip Rope
  • Modified Push Up

If this is way too easy for you, you can increase it to 50 seconds work and 10 second rest and when you get even better, add an extra four rounds. This is a cardio focused workout, which is designed to help you lose weight and gain a bit of muscle. It's real easy to complete and a good exercise routine for people just starting out and wanting to get in shape.
