Beginner's Guide to Exercise


You've decided it's time to start exercising. Congratulations! You've taken the first step on your way to a new and improved body and mind.

Exercise is the magic pill !!!  And there's no arguing that exercise can help most people lose weight, as well as look more toned and trim.
Of course, there's a catch. You need to get -- and keep -- moving if you want to cash in on the benefits. This doesn't necessarily mean following a strict, time-consuming regimen at the gym -- although that can certainly reap benefits. The truth is you can get rewards from many different types and levels of exercise.

Your exercise options are numerous, including walking dancing, gardening, biking -- even doing household chores. The important thing is to choose activities you enjoy...That will increase your chances of making it a habit.
And how much exercise should you do? For heart health, it is recommended at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking, on most days of the week.
Yet, if you're getting less than that, you're still going to see benefits It's NOT like if you can't do 30 minutes, you shouldn't do anything, because you're definitely going to see benefits even at 5 or 10 minutes of moving around.

Ready to Get Started? Let's begin somewhere and take this challenge together: 3X's this week we will do some sort of physical activity...walking 10-15 minutes, dancing, etc. AND eliminate something from your diet such as sodas, limit bread intake, sweets, etc. Challenge yourself to do this with self-control and self disicpline!
