Most people who stop exercising don’t do so because they are bored or because they simply don’t care; they do so because they haven’t found the RIGHT exercise for themselves. This is really the key to maintaining an exercise program. Here, we offer a number of suggestions to get you in shape – and to stay in shape. Keep in mind, however, that you have to select the program that is right for you – not just one that others enjoy or that you think might be cool.
And, while you’re getting in shape, continue enjoying yourself as you are now. Keep your makeup looking great and your shoes shined! You deserve to look great, even if you want to lose some weight.
Pilates – Many people enjoy pilates with its slow, concentrated movements and its focus on core strengthening. You can find Pilates studios or use a DVD.
Swimming – Some people love the calm, relaxing effect swimming has on them.
Weight training – Try out a video by Mitch Gaylord or Jane Fonda for weight training building. Or join a gym where you can focus on weight training.
Aerobics – Check out Richard Simmons videos, or enjoy a Kathy Smith video.
Walking – You can walk by yourself, or enjoy walking with a friend. Use a pedometer that will help you to log your miles and to make you feel great about how far you’ve gone.
