I'm trying to get myself into the groove of working out. I feel great when I do it, it's just a matter of doing it.
I saw something on the news w/ people pledging to do atleast half an hour of activity ( or more) a day. While some may say that half hr isn't enough, it's better than none.

Anyway, I decided to 'schedule' my work outs, even though I do it at home, that way there's time set aside.

Mon: Walk ( approx 4 mph for 45 min or more )

Tue: Lift weights, concentrating on arms/upper body

Wed: Work out dvd,it's higher impact, has some slight weights involved as well. 35 min.

Thur: walk half hour at lunch. I"m gone from 5:45 a.m to 8:00 p.m.

Fri: Weights, concentrating on lower body/legs

Sat: walk, or do the boxing and tennis games on the Wii

Sun: Dvd

I'm trying to have some variety, but yet have it planned. This is the first time I've really planned this out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

Sounds great! As you get more in shape, you can add duration/speed and lift heavier weights a bit more often.

If you have time on the weight lifting days, you might add some cardio. Cardio is great to do every day, if you choose.
