Exercise Program

How, where and when do I start an exercise program? I’m sure we have all come across this dilemma when we start to work out.

Should I do cardio, lift weights or do yoga? There are hundreds of different types of exercise prgrams you can do.

To ease into an exercise program and depending on your ability you should start with light cardio and an easy walk and slowly work into more strenuous cardio a jog. If you are more active you can start with a jog right away.

Anything to get your body moving and working and believe it or not if you walk or run you are building leg muscles and developing your core as well.

Once you have gotten into a good solid cardio routine and want to increase your fitness level, you can then work in some weight training as well and some stretching and balance exercises.

A fully developed exercise program or fitness program involves cardio, weight training and stretching. You can alternate days you do each different routine. Cardio one day and weight training another and stretching can be worked into every day as well, the choice is up to you and you can design it for what you want.

Below is a sampling of a good exercise program that also include exercise tips:

Cardio
Cardio workouts are great for just getting into shape or for more rigerous workouts you can use cardio to train for things such as a marathon or triathlon. Cardio is what you make of it, it's all about

Running, jumping and moving your body. Pushing yourself to the max or just moderately working out and having fun.
