Starting A Fitness Routine

Developing a regular fitness routine can be challenging and intimidating.  Studies show that it takes at least 21 days of repetition of an exercise program to create new habits.  You might approach a new routine this way:

• check with your physician regarding any health risks or concerns
• consider exercise as being a balanced plan of flexibility, muscle strength and endurance, as well as cardio to burn calories
• find a program, with a trainer or DVDs, tailored to your unique capabilities
• include walking as a simple way to lose weight

The best thing about it is that, if you stick with it, you can only feel better!
