The Best Way to Start Working Out (Even If You Have No Idea Where to Begin)

If you’re someone who doesn’t work out regularly, or feels completely lost when it comes to what a “good” workout should look like, simplicity is the best option for you. 

The truth is, you don’t need an elaborate workout plan, fancy equipment, or a perfect diet to start seeing results. You just need to GET STARTED and BUILD MOMENTUM.

And the simplest way to do this?

👉 Do a 15-minute HIIT workout, five times a week.

👉 On your off days, aim for at least 7,000 steps.

That’s it.

Why This Works

1. 15 Minutes Removes the FrictionMost people don’t stick with fitness routines because they try to do too much, too soon. A 15-minute HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) session removes that barrier. It’s short, intense, and effective. In that time, you can elevate your heart rate, build strength, and improve endurance without spending hours in the gym.

15 Minutes = 1.5% of Your Day

There are roughly 960 waking minutes in a 16-hour day. Fifteen minutes is just about 1.5% of that time—barely a sliver of your schedule.

That’s less time than most people spend scrolling through social media or waiting in line for coffee. And that’s what makes it powerful: you don’t have to dedicate huge chunks of your day to get in better shape. You just need to carve out a small window of time—and use it intentionally.

That little 1.5% can completely shift your energy, confidence, and long-term health.

2. 7,000 Steps Keeps You MovingOn rest days, you’re not “doing nothing.” Getting in 7,000 steps keeps your blood flowing, aids recovery, and helps regulate your metabolism. It also prevents the “all-or-nothing” mindset that derails progress.

3. Consistency Creates MomentumThe first few weeks aren’t about achieving a perfect body—they’re about building a habit. Each time you show up for those 15 minutes or hit your step goal, you’re proving to yourself that you can keep a promise. That sense of progress builds momentum, and momentum fuels motivation.

4. Momentum Builds ConfidenceWhen you start feeling the difference—more energy, better sleep, a clearer mind—you’ll naturally want to keep going. The small wins stack up, and suddenly, fitness becomes part of your identity rather than a chore.

Start Simple, Stay Consistent

Forget the idea that you need to “know what you’re doing” before you begin. The secret is to start moving, stay consistent, and let that momentum carry you forward.

Fifteen minutes today. Seven thousand steps tomorrow. Do it again next week.

You’ll be amazed how far that simple routine can take you.
