5 Tips for Getting Started with Working Out (Even If You Have No Idea Where to Begin)

1. Start Small and Stay Consistent
You don’t need to jump into an intense workout routine. Try starting with just 15–30 minutes a few times a week. The key is consistency — it’s better to do a little regularly than to burn out trying to do too much at once.

2. Learn the Basics
Focus on simple, bodyweight exercises to build a foundation — things like squats, push-ups, planks, or even just going for a walk. It’s more important to learn proper form than to lift heavy or go hard right away.

3. Set Simple, Clear Goals
Instead of saying “I want to get in shape,” set small, specific goals like “I’ll work out 3 times this week” or “I want to do 5 push-ups without stopping.” These little wins add up and keep you motivated.

4. Take Care of Your Body Outside the Gym
Working out is just one piece. Eating balanced meals and getting enough sleep (aim for 7–9 hours) will help your energy and recovery more than you might expect.

5. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help
It’s totally okay not to know what you’re doing at first. Ask a friend, try a beginner class, or even look up a trainer. Having some guidance can make the whole thing feel way less overwhelming.

Its grilling Season -Try these lamb burgers for your next meal

▢1 lb ground lamb
▢1 tsp dried oregano
▢1/2 tsp salt
▢1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
▢1/4 cup flat leaf parsley (loosely filled)
▢10 fresh mint leaves
▢6 fresh basil leaves
▢1 red jalapeño pepper
▢4 garlic cloves
▢1 lemon
▢1 cup feta cheese crumbles

Instructions

Cut red jalapeño pepper stem off and remove the seeds and set aside. In a medium sized bowl add the ground lamb (or beef) and the salt, pepper and oregano. Mix to combine.

Place herbs, jalapeño pepper, garlic cloves and two to three 2-inch pieces of lemon zest. Pulse several times to break down and add to the seasoned ground lamb.
To the mixing bowl add the feta cheese crumbles and gently work the ingredients together to mix thoroughly. Do not over mix and compress. Divide the lamb mixture into four portions and gently form into four patties. Set aside.
Prep the grill to around 450°F and then clean and oil it so burgers do not stick. Grill for 3 minutes on the first side covered, flip and cook for 4 minutes covered, then back over for 1 minute more. I removed them from the grill and allowed them to rest for 10 minutes. Should be medium.

Top with Tzatziki sauce if desired.
