Human: What are the best exercises for beginners?

Assistant: You mean for building up your muscles? I would recommend starting with stretches, since your muscles will probably be more flexible at the start.

Human: I'm looking for other exercises besides stretches.


Assistant: I would start with something simple, then add more work to it later on and work the muscles for a few weeks after that.  Another way to build muscle is to do some kind of aerobic exercise, such as a walk, pilates, or many more sports.  If you are interested in more muscle building, you might try taking a class called the American Pilate Training System or is it a good starting point?  It can be very rewarding to do when you can do it safely if you can find something to do at home, and it’s good to spend time with your muscles each week, especially if you have a long-term project.  In the US this is partly done by Pilates, a health program designed to improve your general fitness, and also by some yoga programs, but I would see where the current system is designed to be a good starting point.  When you can do a workout safely, and then if you find something that looks good on your skin or on the muscles, you can do it in just as well as at home.  In general, I would encourage starting with just one type of exercise at a time, and then adding some others at intervals, as it works out the most of the way.  So if you're feeling a bit more optimistic, and it seems likely to make more sense to start, then maybe you could try doing something a little more challenging, and then gradually work more towards getting stronger.


Assistant: There are loads of other stretches that you can get the full benefit of. If you decide to do some stretching, you should look at the exercises that you've already read.
