want to lose weight, what you eat is far
more important than the exercise you
perform. It’s easy to eat more calories in
an hour than a professional athlete can
burn off in three hours. Pushing yourself
away from the table might be the best
form of exercise.
6. Find a workout buddy. It’s not easy to
make it to the gym or to put on your
running shoes each day. Knowing
that someone else is counting on you
increases your compliance.
7. Get expert help. Get some professional
guidance if you’ve never exercised
before. Learn effective techniques and
have your coach design an intelligent

that you enjoy. Unless you’re training for

strength will suffer. Ensure that you’re
hitting these three areas of concern.
11. Focus on progress. Just a little bit of
progress each week can keep your
motivation high. Enjoy the fact that
beginners make great progress!

That said, take your time and enjoy the
journey.
Get excited and start on a new exercise
routine today. You don’t even need to join
a gym. A pair of walking shoes and a set of
exercise bands are enough to get started.
Again, I can’t stress this enough, get some
expert advice for an effective plan. There are
free programs and videos online, although
I would suggest using a lot of caution. Just
