EXERCISE SUCCESS TIP NUMBER ONE:

If it has been a long time since you last participated in any
regular exercise routine it would be best if, before you begin, you
get checked by a doctor to make sure that all your body systems
are healthy enough to sustain regular exercise.

Your goal for basic fitness will be at least 30 minutes of heart
elevating activity at least every other day or most days.

If you are a beginner start out shooting for basic fitness for now
and then later you can change your routine to achieve athletic
fitness if that is your goal.

Also, if you are a beginner, start with an exercise that is easy to
do and is very basic, such as walking briskly for 5-10 minutes.

Make sure to let your body guide you in determining what is too
much and what is enough. If what you have done is too much for
your actual fitness level, the next day your soreness will be the
only thing you can think about.

Some soreness should be expected in the beginning as you wake
up muscles that have not been worked for a while, but that
soreness should not be intense. If it is, turn down your routine in
time or effort, until you reach your actual beginning fitness level
and you only feel minor soreness the day after. But don't start
below a 5 minute routine that is the lowest level! If 5 minutes
makes you feel intensely sore the following day your definition of
intensely sore will have to be changed.

Many of us challenge ourselves too much in the beginning
wanting to prove that our fitness level isn't that bad. Drop your
ego at the fitness door and let your own body guide you in
bringing it to fit. It can and it will by responding the day after.

If you feel intensely sore the following day the next day, and you
worked out for at least 10 minutes or more, reduce by 1/2 the
effort, such as shortening the time from the previous day by 1/2,
turning down the level on your exercise equipment from the
previous day by 1/2, doing the basic level aerobic work out, or
lifting 1/2 the weight.

Assess again the next day. If this time you are right about your
fitness level starting point the day after you will only experience
mild soreness.

If you don't feel anything the next day increase your effort and
time, you did too little.

Eventually you will have to work out at least 30 minutes every
other day or most days, with the effort level being sufficient to
raise your heart rate to give it the work out it needs. Continue
increasing your time and effort each week until you reach at least
the 30 minute point. Once you reach that stage you can stay
there or continue to slowly increase your time and effort to
achieve athletic fitness.

But you don't need to start there and if you haven't worked out
for some time you shouldn't start there. Working your way up to
that goal while listening to your body in the process is the right
path for health and to avoid injury.

Taking it slowly does not mean you will not see results. Sticking
with it is the key to seeing results. It is inevitable with time that
your body will respond to the fact that you are engaged in
regular physical activity and once you get to the 30 minute heart
level work out those results will show up even faster. Hang in
there using the Habit Braker On The Go Exercise system, do the
work out regularly and you will achieve success it's physiologically
guaranteed!
