Learn to dance.
You do sports not because you want to pump up muscles or prepare for a bikini season. You just want to try everything and enjoy everything. And at the same time improve your form. But you, of course, do not like to strain too much. For you, perfect fitness is a dance in the center with an extensive selection of programs and the attention of experienced instructors. And that it was fun and interesting. This is a prerequisite.
ADVICE EXPERT: Mikhail Finagenov, head of the dance school.
> When choosing a group for classes, focus not on the number of people in the hall, but on the feedback about the teacher. Find out if he participated in international competitions, whether he has personal certificates. A good professional can cope with a group of twenty people, and each of them will really learn to dance.
> Dances develop coordination of movements and plastic, force all groups of muscles to work and significantly improve the work of the heart.
> Dancing lessons help to remove the emotional clamp, to be liberated. After the first lessons, gestures, movements, posture, gait change. And very soon it becomes visible to everyone not only in dance classes, but also in everyday life.
> How quickly the effect of training will manifest, depends on your physical fitness and intensity of training. On average, the result is felt after two weeks - a month.
> In choosing a dance program, you do not need to focus only on fashion. For example, modern choreography is no less interesting than everyone's favorite hip-hop. However, each program has its own degree of complexity and intensity. For a beginner, oriental dances or modern jazz are suitable.
> The standard lesson lasts 55 minutes and, apart from learning new moves, includes stretching exercises and repetition of the material. Do it at least two times a week. Ideally, four.

Work at home.
You consider your body to be a well-established mechanism that needs to be improved cautiously and wisely. It's not right to do the exercises, it's not enough to warm up or spoil the joints in the sporting excitement - it's not about you. First of all, you care about your health and harmonious state of mind. You value comfort. Everywhere and in everything. You want to work on individual zones, rather than working in a complex way. Find a personal trainer and do fitness at home. This is for you - the best option.
ADVICE EXPERT: Natalia Pronina, four-time world champion in fitness.

> Whether classes at home will be more effective than in a fitness center depends on your discipline and the degree of professionalism of the mentor. But the fact that they are more comfortable is a fact.
> You can not do without simulators. Required minimum: bench for swinging the press (with a variable angle), dumbbells, hyperextensions, bodybuilders, straight and curved vultures. The level of investment depends on the selected brands and your wishes.
> The average training, like in the fitness center, lasts about an hour and a half and includes warm-up, aerobic exercise, stretching and five to eight basic exercises.
> To find a good personal trainer is not easy, the names and contacts of specialists are transferred literally from word of mouth. But all the same, the main thing that you need to pay attention to when choosing a fitness coach is his sincere desire to help you achieve the result. Terms of payment should not worry him in the first place.
> Do not less than two or three times a week, otherwise there will be no effect from training. The price for one homework with a personal trainer starts from 1500 rubles.
