Step 1 to Losing Weight (continued): Possible Exercise Plans

I have here some possible exercise plans for you to use. They are very simple and straightforward, but that's what the issue of weight loss actually is: simple and straightforward. Your actual plan will of course vary with your other time constraints and responsibilities, but this should assist you in figuring out something that can fit your unique lifestyle.

Possible Plan #1

Monday/Wednesday/Friday (3 times/week):
20 minute run/power walking/swimming

Possible Plan #2

Saturday OR Sunday: go with family or friends and play basketball (or another cardio sport) for at least 30 minutes.
Tuesday & Thursday: 15 minute run

Possible Plan #3

Saturday OR Sunday: 1 hour cardio physical activity
Once during work week: 20 minute run

These are only a few combinations of ways that you could get cardiovascular physical activity throughout the week. If you can do get cardio exercise every day or nearly every day, all the better. However, for many of us, that is simply not a practical option. However, consistently using any of these plans combined with conscientious eating habits will help you to lose weight. Find what is right for you, and write it up for your own  motivation and convenience.

Also, let your friends know your plan. They can act as "keep you honest" checks, and can greatly help you to stay motivated in your pursuit to lose weight.

Once again thanks for reading, and I hope my contributions help you become a healthy, lean, happy person!
