In between Challenges-Mixed Exercise Thread Week 3 (04/22-04/28)
For an effective weight loss program it is important to incorporate exercise as well as making better dietary choices. While any kind of exercise is good for you, it has been proven many times over that just cardio or just strength training isn't the way to go...you need to have a combination of both, with a little bit of core focus as well. So as you plan out and track your exercise this week, be sure to get in 2-3 strength workouts and 2-3 cardio sessions. And don't forget about those abs! Copy and paste the follow format and come back throughout the week to edit your original post. Let’s move those bodies!

This is my 4th week on medifast, so the first week I've been allowed to exercise. I'm starting out slow because of arthritis and knee injury. My plan is to only do my physical therapy exercises for my knees and some core work in the balance ball through May to strengthen my muscles and prevent further injury. In June I will incorporate cardio in the form of aqua cardio (easy on the joints). I am hoping that by August I will have lost enough weight and built enough strength to start working out at the gym regularly.
