How do I begin a fitness program?

Take this quiz and find out!

Which best describes you?
    a. You enjoy doing things around other people
    b. You would rather do things on your own
    c. You sometimes enjoy others and sometimes want to be on your own

If you answered “a”
Consider joining a gym, or structured exercise classes at your local recreation center, community college, or YMCA.

If you answered “b”
Consider investing in some workout videos that seem fun to you! You don’t have to go right out and pay full price however, check out your library, move rental store, used book stores, and mail in video rental retailers, like NetFlix. After you have found a type of exercise you enjoy – then buy a tape or two! You can also walk outside or ride your bike.

If you answered “c”
Don’t make a big commitment like joining a gym. It is best with your comfort level to leave your options open. Choose the options you like best from “a” or “b”.

A note to everybody:

First and foremost, start at your doctor’s office! Find out where you stand with your blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, the whole works! And take in a list of all of your aches and pains, your and your family’s medical history, and any questions or concerns you may have.

Fear Not!

You are on your way to a happier, healthier you! When it comes to exercise, the bottom line is to find something you enjoy, then “enjoy” it on a regular basis.
