exercise tips:

Everyone wants quick results in an exercise program for the New Year, but to succeed in the long run it is best to focus on health benefits, rather than lose weight. Exercise should be a commitment for life, not a temporary obligation that ends once it meets the goal of weight loss.
These tips that can help you get the most from your efforts in the exercise:
• Sets specific goals and measurable. For example, I will exercise 40 minutes five times a week for five weeks. Or train for 8 weeks to complete a 5km race, and try to keep my step from 11.00 per km. Notice that none of these examples mentioned the weight loss of a specific number of pounds. The goal is to change daily habits to incorporate exercise regularly. This kind of goals will serve you better. It is very likely that accompanies your weight loss efforts, but think of it as a bonus. Once you've reached your exercise goals, evaluate your progress and establish new goals.
You can invest in one or two sessions with a personal trainer. The can help you clarify your goals and make reasonable choices that you can not have it yourself.
•If we use the example above, you could design an exercise program that includes weekly aerobic exercise, strength training and flexibility into five sessions of 40 minutes each.
o Quick-step walk for 40 minutes Monday
o Go to yoga class on Tuesday
o Lift weights on Wednesday
o Resting on Thursday
o Go to dance class exercise on Friday that combines aerobic exercise and strength training
o Walk 40 minutes to move fast on Saturday followed by 10 minutes of stretching
o Rest on Sunday
•It starts in the right place. You should not train for a marathon if you've been inactive the past five years. Be realistic about your current physical condition and choose your goals, exercise classes and activities.
