Tips on Starting With a Fitness Program

• Start gradually and build up to a daily 30 minute exercise regime
• Attempt to align your exercise program to daily chores where possible
• Attempt to make your exercise program a part of your life routine by doing it at the same time every day
• Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration
• Attempt to make your workout enjoyable by joining a gym or exercising with a friend
• Maintain a record of your exercise regime and jot down the benefits that you feel after each session
• Walk instead of using an elevator
• Walk or cycle instead of driving by car
• Vary your regime, go swimming on one day, cycling the next, walking the next and so on
• Whenever unwell, take a break and resume once you feel better.

Also concentrate on changing your lifestyle to reduce your cholesterol levels by considering the following:

• Consult a healthcare professional on nutrition and your physical status
• Consult food labels to keep track of how much fat, salt, sugar and other ingredients you consume
• If smoking and/or drinking, seriously consider giving this up

It is important to consider that there is no magic approach to weight loss. The success of any plan or program, including Weight Watchers, is solely dependent on one's drive, dedication and discipline to change bad habits and ways. The following hints can assist you in this regard:
Change your mindset

• If needed, consult motivational material on the internet, in magazines, in your local library and on DVD's
• Write down what you want to achieve and how
• Choose a plan that suits you - there are many options available: Weight Watchers, the Suzanne Somers Weight Loss Program, the Mayo Clinic Plan, Atkins, Bill Philips Body for Life Program, Jenny Craig, Slim-Fast etc., or join your local gym and hire a trainer - or just get going on your own
• Set time aside for the program
• Persevere with whatever plan or program you select
• Keep accurate record of your day-to-day exercising and the benefits you feel and perceive
• Plan and change your diet
• Consult eDiets.com and/or other dietary and nutritional sites online, and even your local library in this regard
• Keep accurate record of what you consume - do not guess the total values and do not rely on your memory to monitor yourself
• Set yourself moderate and realistic targets. As you progress, you can review these
• Make fitness friends and have regular meetings to advise and support one another
• Consider creating a blog on the Internet. Many websites offer free blog space and this presents an excellent opportunity to share thoughts and ideas with literally millions of people throughout the world
• If you and/or your friends experience success, consider writing an e-book to share this with others and to encourage them
