1. Assess your fitness level. Before you can make a fitness plan, you will need to determine your current fitness level. Think about what you can do and what you cannot do physically. There are many tests and assessments you can take to find out your level, but if you are reading this, you have probably already decided to improve your fitness and now want to make a plan.
2. Set measurable goals. While working out, you will want to have a way to identify how far you've come, and how far you have to go. Consider a health improvement like walking up a flight of stairs without getting winded, or you might set a goal to get the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity each week by going for a 30-minute walk on five days out of every week. Focusing on these practical goals as your starting points may help to keep you motivated.
3. Make a plan to reach your goals. Plan when you will work out on which days, when your workout plans will reach the final goal, and what you will do to get there. Figure out how you can get 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. If you are really pressed for time, make that 75 minutes of vigorous exercise. Weight training or resistance training is recommended twice a week and can be included in the 150 minutes of moderate exercise.
