A fancy club certainly makes you want to hit the gym every single day, but be realistic here, you have a job, family, plus travel. Pick a gym that's in proximity to your home or workplace. No one likes having a relationship with the traffic
No two people who follow the same diet and workout regime can show an equal progress! Simply because no two people are the same. So, following any crazy routine off the net just is a bad idea. If you want to turn 35 without a nasty back pain, excess cholesterol and flab everywhere, find a gym, a good trainer and a nutritionist today.

Everyone has exotic plans for the future; make sure you'll be able to enjoy them. Here's how you begin:
1. Keep It Around The Block
A fancy club certainly makes you want to hit the gym every single day, but be realistic here, you have a job, family, plus travel. Pick a gym that's in proximity to your home or workplace. No one likes having a relationship with the traffic.
P.S.: Most gyms offer a 3 day trial, USE IT! Speak to a few trainers while you're on trial and look for good deals on memberships and trainers.
2. Bid Adieu To Junk
Following a diet is one of the toughest things you'd have to do to join the fitness bandwagon. But kissing goodbye to processed food and junk food could work wonders for a beginner.
3. Have A Plan
Don't just join the gym because you know someone who joined, or because you got a great corporate deal. You need to have a short term and a long term vision, in order for you to have a great time getting fit. Enlist a trainer and chart a realistic goal for every month.
Now that you've done your research, this is what you'll need:
1. The Kicks
If you're a runner, a pair of running shoes that are light on your feet, and offer good shock absorption for foot landing are perfect. But, if you're planning on heavy lifting a running shoe just won't do. Lifting shoes have a flat and hard sole that provide stability and helps keep your feet closer to the ground. I recommend Adidas Powerlift 2.0 for lifting and latest technology gel based shoe for running.
2. The Covers
Shorts are way comfortable than tracks, and that's the only thing that should matter. Always keep comfort and ease over style. Loose comfortable clothes provide proper range of motion to the joints and hence proper technique.
3. The Necessities
Most health clubs provide you with towels, one for a shower and one to carry along while you workout. Keeping a napkin handy is basic gym etiquette, so you keep yourself and the gym dry.
4. No Deo, No Cry
No one can stand bad body odour. Period. It is very natural to sweat and stink during training, but not doing anything about it, is completely unacceptable. Always carry a deodorant or a roll on to the gym.
Day 1:
Approach the receptionist, ask for assistance, normally a general trainer will help you with your workouts on the first day. Make sure you check how much you weigh. Some gyms provide an induction program where they keep track of your body measurements and composition. And, finally a huge number of people quit within a month. Especially, when they feel lost or do not see any results coming in, having a positive mental attitude here is all that would make the difference. You've already discovered that you're in a bad shape, why wait for that medical report with a lot of bad news? Just remember, nothing comes easy!
