So first I must say exercising is much harder for me than eating right in many aspects. I don't have much motivation in this area and I really need it!!
I was wondering what everyone did when they first started to exercise? What types of exercise? Did you do it everyday or a few times a week? etc.
I know that it is very important to mix cardio with weight training/resistance to get the maximum weight loss and muscle tone.
I'm just now beginning and I'm very out of shape!!!! I'm 24 and weigh 190 right now and am very flabby per say, I want to be about 140-150 and toned.
I just started exercising yesterday and I am beginning the 5k couch thing. I am walking for 5 mins at 3.0, jogging for 2 mins at 4.5, and walking for another 5 mins at 3.0. I did this yesterday and today (hadda force myself lol) and it does bring up a sweat, which is sad that is all it takes for me
I am also doing a 10 min kettlebell workout along with it. I haven't done it yet but know I need to do something besides 12 minutes a day. I plan on doing it after dinner.
The 5k plan increases as time goes, but for me starting out, does the 5k cardio and 10 min kettlebell dvd seem feasible or do I need to step it up?
Oh and I am eating 1300-1800 calories a day.
Thanks all! I've already got some very good advice here, i love this place! you guys rock!
