ExRcise
Exercise didn’t become a huge part of my daily life until after I had lost a considerable amount of weight. After losing 70 pounds with just a healthier diet and moderate jog walking, I decided to take the next step and begin to work out. These are some things I practice and take seriously.
- Exercise must become a part of your weekly routine. Your health is important enough to fit it in somewhere
- Change your lifestyle, if possible: walk instead of the bus, take the steps instead of the elevator or escalator
- Start easy and work your way up, even if it’s a 10 minute walk or jog it’s a start
- Cardio is the most important part of exercise for anyone who is overweight, it focuses on total body weight loss rather than specific areas
- Create a regimen that is comfortable for yourself, then begin to push the limit. Every week or so try to jog a little longer or walk a little faster.
- Aerobics are great for cardio; most routines work your entire body. You can do them at home or at a class at the gym
- Try Pilates or yoga, it may not be for you but it’s good to try. These routines stretch your body and release tension
- Do light weight training when you are ready; this helps to tones muscles
- If you see that you have hit a plateau in weight loss try a different combination of exercises
- Take a daily multivitamin
- Listen to music while you work out
