There comes a time in everyone’s diet routine when it’s time to get physical.\u00a0 You’re doing good things to lose weight but you need something else to offer a boost.<\/p>\n

But what?<\/p>\n

Move those muscles, that’s what!<\/p>\n

But there’s a secret to this success.\u00a0 It’s called planning.<\/p>\n

If you don’t plan to schedule exercise,\u00a0 it won’t be a part of your life.<\/p>\n

First:\u00a0 <\/strong>Start off super simple.\u00a0 Plan to meet a friend for a workout session of something…a brisk walk,\u00a0 a tennis game, a swim at your local Y.<\/p>\n

Make it a weekly event.<\/p>\n

What’s important is that you get out your calendar and schedule regular\u00a0 sessions with friends.\u00a0 When you schedule regular dates with friends, they’ll probably happen.<\/p>\n

There are only\u00a0 a few details you need to work out:<\/p>\n

Where will you exercise?\u00a0 Home, Park, Gym?<\/p>\n

What will you do:\u00a0 Walk?\u00a0 Aerobics?\u00a0 Feldenkrais? Pilates?\u00a0 Golf?<\/p>\n

When will you meet?\u00a0 Before work?\u00a0 Lunch hour?\u00a0 Weekends?\u00a0 \u00a0After work?<\/p>\n

Second:\u00a0 <\/strong>Use your watch to track your steps.\u00a0 My first fitness watch was a Garmin.\u00a0 My second, a FitBit.\u00a0 My third love is a Samsung.\u00a0 Each of these watches\u00a0 overperformed.\u00a0 My Samsung even takes phone calls.<\/p>\n

But, don’t get distracted by all the wonderful things this wrist jewelry does.\u00a0 Use the treats which attract you.\u00a0 For me, it’s the magic number I check throughout the day which tells me how many steps I’ve taken.<\/p>\n

Your fitness watch is a step counter.\u00a0 Mine tracks my steps throughout the day.\u00a0 My goal is 10,000 steps a day.\u00a0 I don’t worry about whether the intensity is low, moderate, or high.\u00a0 I’m concerned with the total.\u00a0 My goal is to enjoy myself when I know I’ve reached the magic number:\u00a0 10,000.<\/p>\n

Whether you have a Garmin, a Fitbit, a Samsung, or a simple pedometer,\u00a0 when you count your steps, you have a constant coach who travels with you and supports you in your health goals.<\/p>\n

Third:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>While you’re at it, go for some strength training.\u00a0 This is not the same thing as exercising with a friend.<\/p>\n

Strength training happens when you work all your muscles under the direction of a trainer.\u00a0 Whether you call it resistance training, weight training, or muscle training, you’re giving your body a bonus class once a week. Strength training is not painful.<\/p>\n

The idea is to improve your bone density, firm and trim your body, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, increase your self-esteem, and prevent falls.\u00a0 WOW<\/p>\n

Find a qualified teacher and schedule a weekly class\u00a0 on a different day from exercising with a buddy.\u00a0 This is the training where you’ll start slow and set no upper limits for yourself.\u00a0 The sky is the limit.<\/p>\n

Remember:\u00a0 strong is healthy.<\/p>\n

Fourth:\u00a0 <\/strong>Join a yoga class.\u00a0 Yoga is therapeutic.\u00a0 It’s uplifting.\u00a0 It’s fun.\u00a0 It’s also an exercise where you compete only with yourself.\u00a0 There are many, many kinds of yoga and every teacher is different. Shop around.<\/p>\n

I, personally, prefer restorative yoga.\u00a0 My current teacher, Carolyn Abedor, teaches Iyengar yoga.\u00a0 I love every minute I’m in her class.\u00a0 When you join the right yoga class for you, you’ll feel the same way about your teacher.<\/p>\n

Fifth:\u00a0 <\/strong>Give yourself the gift of a regular reflexology session.\u00a0 Your feet are the command center of your body.\u00a0 A reflexology session honors you – physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.\u00a0 Each reflexology session brings homeostasis to your whole body.\u00a0 Go for it!<\/p>\n
