“Tranquility is the foundation of any successful health program”
To Start:
- The importance of proper medical evaluation before starting a health and fitness program.
- You will be able to exercise at or close to home and still produce great results.
- How a good warm up prepares your body for a productive training session.
- The proper use and calculation of heart rate for cardiovascular conditioning and fat loss.
- The best use of strength training with minimal equipment, and expense.
- How to select a series of well thought out exercises to produce outstanding results, while minimizing injury.
- The use of relaxation techniques. Tranquility is the foundation of any successful health program.
- Keeping your nutrition simple yet allowing it to be a powerful aid to your health and fat loss program.
- Writing down fitness sessions and nutritional intake will take very little effort, yet will pay back huge dividends by avoiding wasted time, energy, money, and physical injury.
The best place to start a fitness program is with a current health assessment by your health care provider. Therefore, I am assuming that before you follow any of these suggestions that you will obtain a clean bill of health from your health care provider. If there are any issues please ask them how you should proceed with your health, fitness, and fat loss programs.
“Don’t follow crowds- nobody goes there anymore”
Start where you are! You may need to sit yourself down and have a good “heart to heart” with yourself and your family. You are about to embark on a life journey that must be of the highest importance to you, as important as your career, and your relationships. Following an honest sensible plan of action in your fitness endeavors will just about guarantee success, but it will not be easy. Initially it is time consuming and you will have to apply yourself. At first, you will be working way outside of your comfort zone. It will take approximately three months for fitness to become a lifestyle shift. Though they may not be alongside you, take solace that many toil with you on a daily basis with this monumental task of incorporating fitness, nutrition, and fat loss into their lifestyles.
