The CDC's guide to starting physical fitness is actually pretty great!

Posted: 10 Oct 2020 04:01 PM PDT

I felt a bit inclined to post this because when I was starting to become more physically active, I found it really difficult to just choose some routine to focus on. Whenever I googled fitness advice, I remember feeling that a lot of search results were either for short-term tips (i.e. how to do a specific exercise like a proper form pushup, but not give a routine) or worse were articles / videos designed to emotionally manipulate you. By this I am referring to gurus who want to get you to buy their programs / supplements / equipment, setting unrealistic goals like getting a six pack in two weeks, etc.

There's a lot of noise when it comes to fitness and health articles online. I'm not saying all health articles are bad because many are a great reference. But it can make the process of starting fitness seem a lot more complicated than it actually is. What I find so great about the CDC's guidelines is how it sets simple concrete goals for fitness and is flexible to your needs and interests. That's what I think is most important about starting fitness: building a specific routine with activities you find enjoyable (or at the very least meet your practical needs). For the most part when I was starting fitness, I just recorded the time I walked, ran, hiked or biked each week and set a specific time to my needs. I would push myself to do better times and stuff, but I never made it too complicated. I just tried to meet a certain time of physical activity each week to build a routine.

Using external resources like articles and videos will be necessary for adding gradually more complicated exercises. However the CDC's routine recommendations are a simple, stress-free and unbiased start to fitness. Check out some of their resources here:
