2. Know your limits
If you are not used to exercising, do not ever start with a crossfit class or any other high intensity training, because the next day you will feel so sore and tired that you will not come back. Start little by little: walk, stretch, do low impact cardio and gradually increase your routine according to your limits. Listen to your body.

4. Do not give up
Make the purpose of staying constant regardless of your commitments, schedules or unforeseen events. Accustom your body and your mind to need exercise and incorporate it into your everyday life.

5. Do not get obese with the results
If you expect to see results in a few days, you will surely end up discouraged and that may lead you to leave your routine. Be patient; It takes a few months for the results to be truly visible to the naked eye. The good news is that the effects of exercise on your health and mood are immediate.
