Exercise Plans and Getting Started

Getting started with your exercise plan
you already know that you should exercise, but how do you do it?
You'd like to be healthy, but you aren't sure you have the time to fit exercise into your day. Realise that any new habit is difficult to establish at first, but it can be done. Follow these steps and you'll be on your way down the exercise path in no time! Enjoy your exercise journey!

1. Plan Exercise into Your Day
What if you don't have time to exercise? This is the most common reason people give for not exercising. Before we go on stop and think a moment. You can make time for anything you are committed to doing. Before people have children, they are terrified they won't have time be able to fit them into their schedule. Not surprisingly, they make time. Why? Because they are committed to having children in their life. Similarly, you can become committed to exercise. Relax it can be done! Remember, it's not how many workouts you do, but how much you move your body throughout each day that counts.

2. Look at Your Schedule
Take a calendar or day planner that lists the hours of every day of the week. Then fill in what activities you have to do in every hour. (If you can't do this from memory, try making a time log for one week.) Notice when you have blank spots - even if they are just for half an hour. Could you fit a short five to ten minute walk in that slot?

3. Make an Appointment to Exercise
Identify various times you have available and make appointments with yourself to exercise at those times. Actually write the appointments
