5 fitness exercises for beginners at Training Day

There are many fitness workout exercises that beginners of all ages can participate in to improve their mobility and endurance. Here are our top five recommendations to get you started!

1. Treadmill

Walking or running on a treadmill is a great cardiovascular exercise to get your heart rate up and boost your overall health. If you’re new to fitness exercises, start by walking for 20-30 minutes, three times per week, and gradually increase your time as you become more fit.

2. Stationary biking

Biking is an excellent fitness activity for people of all ages, from adults to teens to young children. If you don’t have access to a bike or you’re new to cycling, you can use a stationary bike at one of our gyms! We recommend that you start by pedalling for 15 minutes, two times per week.

3. Strength training exercises

Strength training is important for muscle building and improving bone density. Beginners should start with body-weight fitness exercises like push-ups, pull-ups and squats. As you become stronger, you can add dumbbells or resistance bands to increase the difficulty of your fitness workouts. We have lots of strength-training equipment available at our Burwood and Clayton gyms, so come and check them out!

4. Boxing

Boxing engages all the major muscle groups, including the arms, legs, back and core, making it an effective full-body workout. At Training Day, we have boxing classes designed for beginners and intermediate participants, allowing you to learn the basics of boxing techniques while having fun! 

5. Pilates

Pilates is a great way to improve flexibility, balance, mobility and core strength. Our weekly mat pilates classes are ideal for beginners and intermediate participants. These fitness workouts will help you gain more awareness of your body and boost your overall health in a lively and supportive environment.

Tips for starting fitness exercises

Before beginning your new workout routine, you should do a few things to ensure you’re participating in fitness activities safely and effectively.

Assess your current fitness levels

Assessing your current fitness level is essential before starting any new fitness exercises. By knowing your baseline, you can:

• better gauge your progress;

• avoid overexerting or injuring yourself; and

• tailor your fitness workouts to ensure you’re challenging yourself enough to see results.

If you’re new to exercise, starting slow and gradually building your fitness workouts is important. Our Burwood and Clayton gyms offer a range of beginner and intermediate fitness classes so you can go at your own pace.

Identify your workout goals

Before beginning your fitness exercises, it might also be useful to identify your workout goals. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle or simply improve your overall health, knowing your goals will help you choose the right fitness exercises to get you where you want to go.

Create a plan for your fitness activities

Our trainers can help you design an exercise program tailored to your specific goals and skill level. We will work with you to determine things like how long you should workout for and what different exercises you should incorporate into your routine. With our help, you can smash your fitness exercises with confidence, knowing that your workout routine is safe and designed for real results.
