Fitness Boundaries

How much activity?

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exersize at least 2-3 times a week and increase your frequency if you have been compliant. Studies show this is the best way to reduce and maintain body fat and increase lean muscle. Please go slowly, especially, if you're just getting started. Changing you environment, cardio-machine and even breaking up the 30 minute cardio segments into chucks will improve your compliance and thus keep you motivated.

Here are some examples of moderate amounts of activity

• Pushing a stroller: 1 1/2 miles in 30 minutes
• Playing Tennis: 30-45 minutes
• Walking: 1 3/4 mile in 35 minutes
• Bicycling: 5 miles in 30 minutes
• Cardio- Machines: 30- 45 minutes ( goal burn 300-400 calories)

Remember

• Start your program slowly and bank your initial exersize enthusiasm for a tough day.
• Don't overdo it. If your body is telling you to stop, listen. Stop exercising and contact your doctor if you have chest discomfort, dizziness, severe headache, or other unusual symptoms.
• Get the right gear and it must be comfortable and Cute especially IF:
• You have had a plastic surgery procedure or
• Had a significant breakthrough in a body zone.
• Show it off ...you have earned it!
• Don't do heavy activity for two hours after a big meal (a walk afterwards is fine). You can work out more often if you eat small meals.
• exersize with friends and without friends is a must. A lifestyle fitness regiment is your personal commitment to yourself and physical exersize alone better solidify your commitment. Go in and Get Out! Keep it strictly Business!
