It's true, if you want to reach your goals, you have to throw in some exercise along with eating sensibly. Hey, we're metabolically challenged so we better make the best of it. Fortunately, you are reading Melting Man's blog and I can give you some ideas how to make exercise fun.
Remember, I'm not an expert on anything, so consult a physician if you are not sure about your limitations. First, I'm going to talk to you like you don't exercise much for whatever reason, for those of you that do, I won't be long here, so just keep reading and bear with me.
OK... the objective right now is to do a little bit of exercise that will get your heart rate up, break a sweat. In other words, "cardio". That's going to get the weight melting off. You might want to start out with some walking, and after a couple weeks, pick up the pace, then maybe add some distance later on. Remember start slow, don't over do it. It's alright to feel a little sore, but you definitely don't want to feel pain.
Also, what ya might want to do is find some time when no one is around, put on some music with a fast beat, and dance like no one is watching, and hopefully no one is. It doesn't matter what you do, just move everything. I call it "free style". You've seen the Zumba commercials, and other fitness craze commercials, just watch what they are doing and do something similar. You don't need to buy the DVDs. Exercise should be fun. These are just suggestions to get started. At this point anything that gets your heart rate up and gets you sweating is a good thing. Do this a least 3 times a week, and be consistent. There might be days you don't feel like it, I find that those are the days I have my best workouts.
I'll touch more on exercise in future posts. Again, I welcome comments and suggestions. There is a box below The Daily Puppy where you can write these.
