Getting Started with personal fitness
Once you start a fitness program, the best thing to do is schedule a certain time of the day to work out and keep to this schedule. Nothing is worse for a fitness program than not knowing when you are going to work out. So make a schedule and stick to it no matter how hard it may be. The longer you stick to this schedule the easier it will be and you will actually feel that something is not right when you miss a workout. Starting a personal fitness program can be as easy as getting up and going for a walk. One such resource for guidance on the benefits of walking can be found at Health Benefits of Walking . It may not seem like you are doing much just going for a walk but it's a start and it's better than sitting on the couch watching TV. Once you have started walking and feel you need more, go for a short jog, then work into a longer jog, lift some weights, take an arobics class. Do something, anything, just get started.
