Wanna Get In Shape?

Do you have an exercise plan? Do you own any exercise
equipment? Perhaps a treadmill, an exercise bike, or any
of the gazillion exercise machines advertised on
infomercials over the last 10 or 20 years? I think we've
all been sold at one time or another on something to make
exercising easier... or so we thought. And that's good!
Having the desire to look better, feel better and
implementing a good exercise plan can help us to reach
those goals and also help us to keep our weight under
control. And those are just a few of the benefits of
exercise.

When we perform an exercise routine regularly
we begin to not only look and feel better... we even sleep
better. When you get right down to it I think we all know
that a good exercise plan is part of a healthy lifestyle.
I often hear people ask "What is the best exercise?" And
the answer to that question is the one you like the most.
Why? Because that’s the one your more likely to do! For
many people, just one exercise would not be enough because
although we all want to be in good shape and the proper
weight, we all have different fitness goals... but for
others, one exercise performed consistently and regularly
provides all the benefits mentioned above and then some!

So... how many exercise plans do you need to receive all of
the exercise benefits described above? One! That's right...
just one! And how many exercises do you need to do? That
will depend on your particular fitness goals your likes
and dislikes but the first question I encourage you to
ask yourself is What one exercise do I like the most? That
answer will get you started on a good exercise plan.
Now...
Did you know that how often you exercise is the single
most important factor in whether you:

* reach your weight loss goals

* will be satisfied with your results

* will feel good about your progress

You could own every piece of exercise equipment ever
advertised on an infomercial, from an exercise bike to an
exercise ball and every exercise machine in between, but if
you’re not going to use them, then your exercise plan will
never succeed. Now I’m not saying that you need to own
exercise equipment to be in shape. There are many people
who are in excellent condition who own nothing more then a
pair of Nikes. If you get just one thing from reading this,
understand that your fitness level is directly related to
the frequency in which you exercise.

It doesn’t matter if you know how to do every imaginable
abdominal exercise, dumbbell exercise, aerobic exercise,
tricep, deltoid or backside exercise. The important thing
is how often you do them!

I challenge you right now to base your exercise plan on
frequency, and I promise you will be much more successful.
Whether your exercise plan consists of 20 different
exercises or one... please remember this.
Now I don’t want you to get carried away. There’s more to
life than just exercising... much more. All I’m saying is
when you set about creating an exercise plan, the frequency
of exercise is crucial. So as you create your exercise plan
answer these two questions:

1) What one exercise do I enjoy the most? Even if you
currently hate all exercise... there must be one that you
like more than the others or hate less than the others ?

2) And secondly, how often can I sincerely do this?
Answer those two questions and your exercise plan will be
off to a great start!
