Planning On Getting In Shape: A Very Basic Guide For The Un-Exercised - Steven Morris

Fitness seems to be the thing these days with plenty of health clubs opening up its big business. Nevertheless, you do not need to go to a health club of gym to get in shape. Depending on how “Unfit” you are, depends on where you start. Therefore, I am going to pen this guide with the couch potato in mind.
If you have, any breathing difficulties or heart problems see your doctor before you start any sort of training.



First things first, we need to increase our level of activity. I would advise you to do this gradually. With fitness, we get it into our heads that we need to go from zero activity to going to the gym every day. We end up doing to much and end up with our muscles aching this in turn sends a signal to the brain associating fitness with pain and then we stop wanting to get fit. Fitness is not a sprint it is a slow walk and it is not about the winning it is all about the taking part



Walking



Do you walk anywhere? If you have a car, probably not; I know from my own experience that getting into that nice warm car is a lot more enticing then walking to the shops in the freezing weather. Start walking if you don’t have time, make time, get up earlier in the morning go to the shop and get a paper or just walk around the block before breakfast. By doing this simple change to our daily routine we have increased our activity level. Make sure you do this about 3 – 5 times a week Keep this up for 2 weeks then move on to the next stage.



Walk a bit faster



We have been walking for 2 weeks, now we need to push ourselves, just a little. Walk to the shops, a bit faster. We need to put a little more pressure on our heart and start to get the blood pumping around our body. Do this for 2 weeks, again 3 – 5 times a week



Fancy a little light jogging



Jogging is a great way to get fit you can jog as slow or as fast as you like and it’s a great way to have some “you” time. Grab your-self some trainers and lets get out and jog go down your local park. No need to sprint round just a gentle jog and over time try and do it a little quicker, only do what you can manage



Now you should be feeling the benefits of a little light exercise. By doing this on a regular basis your heart will be stronger your whole body would have benefited now it’s up to you where you go from here. This could be just about the right amount of exercise that you feel comfortable with, or you may feel that you want to get in the best shape that you can. whatever your choices , Good Luck
