Mythbusters

People who are very overweight should avoid exercise


This is not true the key is to start out easy. To begin, start by increasing daily activity. Rearrange your house or office environment so that it makes movement mandatory. Such as getting rid of the romote so when you want to change the channel you have to get up, or putting your alarm clock across the room so you get up and going. Another, good tip once you feel comfortable is getting a sationary bike and only watching T.V. when you are on the bike.

Use helpful tools as well like a pedometer to measure your average daily step count and increase from there. Record the daily steps you take for seven consecutive days then calculate the average. Use the average as a starting point and gradually increase your daily step goals of around 5 to 10 percent per week.

For example, if 3,000 steps is your current daily step average, the goal for next week will be 3,300 steps per day, and 3,630 per day the following week.

Walking is a great way to start an exercise program. If you need additional ideas on how to start an exercise program, contact us @505.268.1231
