Get Healthy Step Three

After you have cleaned out your kitchen and started eating healthy, the next thing you will want to do is add exercise.  You will need to exercise a minimum of three days a week.  Optimally you would want to exercise five days per week, but you can work up to that amount.

SLOW START PROGRAM - If you are not in shape, you can start slowly.  You may want to consult a doctor before starting any exercise program.  Start by walking just five minutes per day, three days per week.  Slowly increase until you are walking 45-60 minutes per day, five days per week.

REGULAR START PLAN - If you are in reasonable shape and have recently spoken with your doctor about starting and exercise plan, you should be able to walk 30 minutes per day, three days per week, gradually increasing until you are walking 60 minutes per day, five days per week.

Next you will want to add some weight training.  There are things that you can do even if you do not have access to weights, you can do lunges, squats and crunches.  If you do have dumbells, you can learn various arm exercises.  Slowly increase your weight training until you are weight training for at least 30 minutes, three days per week.
