Where to start?????? Sleeveless season is just around the corner.

Push up work out lots of muscles.  Arms, chest, back....a great exercise staple.  

Beginning the process of working out can be intimidating as I have said many times already.  Where to start?  Where to start?  Many people don't start because it is so intimidating that they just can't get to it. Diving into the workout pool may be too much in the beginning so maybe set a small and doable goal first.  What is it that you'd like to get out of working out?  Why are you even considering working out? Or are you?  Maybe you just want to lose weight and this seems like the way to go.  Perhaps you don't need to lose any weight but you'd like to firm up, stop the jiggle?  

Whatever the reason, you should add in health.  With working out comes eating right; to work best, the two go together.  I talk about both a lot because you should keep both in mind when considering a goal.  If your goal is simply to get healthy then you are in the right place.  I like to look at health as the main goal in working out and eating right.  There are added bonus things like dropping weight, getting strong and feeling great too.  

You don't have to just have one goal, you can have a whole long list of goals.  But you should tackle them one by one in the beginning.  You don't want to set yourself up for failure; biting off more than you can chew as they say.  I think when you tackle one goal at a time; you are more apt to get there and move onto the next one.  

Results are a huge motivation; so when you get even the smallest result from working out it can fuel you onto doing more and keeping at it.  Whether that result is getting stronger, feeling better overall from eating well or liking what you see when you look in the mirror, it all helps.  

So start small and with motivating results, you will keep at it.  I like the idea of working out at home to start.  But, if you are not going to do it and need to either join a class or gym to get going, then do it.  But don't think that you need a class or a gym to get started; there are tons of things you can do.  Maybe just start walking, it is surprising how many people don't walk.  It's about the easiest thing to get started on and it's free.  :)  

Here I am doing tricep dips with push up handles.  They just happen to be there when I was taking pics so I used them.  You can use the edge of a chair, a step or anything else stable.

If you want to tone some body parts up, focus.  Lets say you want to tone your arms, very common.  You need to work out that flappy back part of your arms, your triceps.  Two easy exercises will get you started.  The very basic girl push up and the tricep dip.  Start slow and build as your strength grows.  You can do these easily at home.  The push up you can do anywhere and the dip just needs an chair edge, step or anything else that is sturdy and will keep you a few inches off the ground.  It is just the very beginning but these basics are tried and true.  

You can get started right this minute. :)
