Create a Well-Rounded Fitness Routine
Many people who start working out focus on cardiovascular exercise only.
This may be because it doesn’t require any thought or planning to hop on an elliptical machine, or maybe because many women don’t feel comfortable lifting weights.
Please don’t do this. Strength training is an important part of a fitness routine, especially since muscle mass begins to decline as early as your 30’s, according to Web Md.
Start simple, using 5lb dumbbells to do some squats, bicep curls and shoulder presses. As you get comfortable with the weight, add some more moves to keep your body tone, and then follow up with cardio exercise.
