Health and fitness has become a main focus of our every day lives which has caused us to what to look and feel better.  The question is,where do I start and what should I do. Success means behavior changes and planning.  First, start your plan simple and have the right tools.  Take a clear realistic look at what you want to accomplish and start to organize your thoughts.  Prepare a list of tools you will need: floor mats, weights, workout video and an exercise heart rate monitor etc. It is important to record the activities, dates and times you have scheduled for your exercise plan.  This information will let you know what worked and what needs to be adjusted.

Next, start by settling a weekly goal of specific activities that are realistic for you.  A morning walk at a brisk pace, 20 minutes up and 20 minutes back which will increase oxygen level throughout the body.  Also, a Cardiosport heart rate watch  to provide feedback for safety and performance.  You may have friends who are doing weight training, aerobics, core strength training and other types of workouts.  You may wonder, what exercise should I be doing?  Do not compare yourself to others and choose what is comfortable for you; this practice will keep you focused and not overwhelmed.  Remember, you can aways add to your workout session weather it is aerobics or weight training.  The important issue is to stay within your limits and seat realistic goals.
