You've heard the expression a thousand times "use it or lose
it". As we get older it is important that we stay active and get
our bodies moving. If you are over forty and are not very
active, I'm sure you have noticed your muscle size and tone
disappearing. Well read on because I have discovered an
excellent way to start an exercise program that you can
gradually increase over time.
let's first discuss why exercising is so important in the
first place.
Regular exercising helps prevent diseases like heart disease,
cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. In
addition you will improves stamina, strengthen and tone those
muscles, enhance your flexibility, control your weight and
overall you will improve your quality of life.
Now here is the plan that I followed to get started and now
maintain.
Always start off slow. If you want to jog, start of walking.
Start walking let's say one mile per day for two weeks and as
your muscles get used to it up the miles to two. This is wise
for weight lifting as well, start off with less weight and fewer
reps. There is nothing more discouraging then to wake up with
over worked and sore muscles. In fact, most people over do it in
the beginning, which causes them to take a break from their
routine. This usually causes them to stop all together and fear
starting again due to the pain they anticipate.
For years I over did it and I did exactly what I mentioned which
caused me to stop all together. So here is my advise to you for
beginning and maintaining a successful exercise program. Pick a
combination of strength building and aerobic type exercises you
enjoy with keeping in mind that you have plenty of time to grow
into it. Be patient and go at it slow then gradually build up
your weight, reps and miles until you feel comfortable. Before
you know it you will be enjoying a robust program and find that
you will crave your next session. Good luck.
