How to Start a Yoga Practice »Exercise at your level. If you’re new to physical activity, start by gently stretching and walking. Build up your stamina with low-impact, low-intensity activities, then slowly increase the length and intensity of your workouts over time.
A regular exercise routine is easier to maintain if you enjoy it! Test out varying types of physical activity to find what feels best and is most sustainable. Explore individual exercise or group classes, and try working out at different times of day.
Physical activity is just one component of a healthy, active lifestyle. It’s important to remember that self-care can come in multiple forms, and taking time to rest and reset is essential. Listen to your body—when it needs a break, give it one.
Remember to consult your doctor before beginning a new fitness regimen to ensure your safety.
