# When starting, always remember that you should be make a commitment to set aside time for your exercise and set a goal you want to reach when staying in shape
# Push yourself, but know your limits. If you haven't exercised in a while it may feel impossible, but keep going. Stay within reason, though, as overdoing can actually damage your body.
# Set realistic goals for yourself and don't get discouraged if you feel that you cannot perform as well as you'd like. If you are constantly working out, you will gradually see and feel changes over time, but it won't happen overnight.
# Go for morning jogs when possible. Exercise in the morning can also give you just that extra bit of energy you need throughout the rest of the day.
# Stay on track. If you get distracted and forget to exercise one day, just make sure you do it the next day. The same thing if you pig out one day at a party, just continue eating well the next day.
# Eat practical portions and make good nutritional choices. Overeating can undermine all that progress you've made! This doesn't mean starve yourself, it just means take time while eating to let yourself know when you're actually full.
# Be careful about over training: it can be more damaging than too little exercise. Pushing your body too hard can cause debilitating muscle damage.
