Tips For Beginning a Fitness Program
Prior to beginning any exercise program you should consult a
physician, especially of you are diabetic, have high blood pressure,
are overweight, sedentary or have heart problems.
Set goals that are achievable, measurable, attainable, and realistic.
Write them down and keep them where you can see them.
Wear clothes that are comfortable and are appropriate for the climate.
Choose a time to workout that fits your schedule. Fit it in like
you would any other appointment or responsibility.
Keep track of your workouts and dietary intake in a journal or log
book. This allows you to monitor your progress and helps keep you
motivated.
Warm up for 5-10 minutes prior to starting your workout.
After your workout, cool down for 5-10 minutes. It is also
important to stretch after your workout is complete.
CONSISTENCY IS KEY! Start small and keep GOING!
