Burning Up Body Fat Storage All Year Round!
Despite what you see and read in magazines, fad
diets don’t work and there is no magic pill. Safe and lasting weight
loss is a lifestyle change, and it’s a change you must commit to make long before
you select and begin any weight loss or strength training plan.
My wish is that you make the commitment and decision to change your lifestyle before your physician tells you that the changes are essential for
medical reasons. In either event, please seek your doctor’s consent
before you get started. Advise him/her of your plans to begin a
fitness program and to alter your lifestyle habits to one inclusive of exercise and balanced nutrition.
After that, you will need a complete, comprehensive approach to making the lifestyle changes necessary to take you thru the rest of your life! Why not start at the beginning with cardio training to build up your heart muscle, increase your stamina and start to burn off those extra pounds stored thru the cold winter.
Remember, if you are just beginning, take everything in moderation. Don't go for the gold in the first week!
Begin by walking for 15-20 minutes, perhaps 2-3x a week. Whether it be outdoors or inside using cardio training equipment, starting slowly at low intensity with any new program is sound advice. As you notice your body responding favorably in a few weeks, you can modify the variables, by
- changing the pace,
- changing the elevation,
- changing the protocol
or even change or add another piece of equipment or activity to challenge your body further. Try to keep your hands free and your mind clear of distractions. In other words, resist the temptation to "hold on" but challenge yourself to walk, jog or bike freely and upright. Avoid reading, talking and chatting on the phone during your session.
When you are ready, move to my high intensity, 45-minute cardio training session using one of the Free CardioClub Workout Downloads. You will find it easy to keep your heart rate up and your body moving to the driving beat. Each download is orchestrated with a 5 minute warmup and proceeds to cue the listener to change equipment (or activity) over a 40 minute period at 10 minute intervals. The music drives the pace of the work urging you on to the end of the full session.
Check it out - but only when you are ready for a High Intensity Cardio Session!
