Are you one of the 60% of Americans who are over weight or 20% of Americans who are obese? Well obviously with numbers like those you are not alone. Saying you are fat is not politically correct instead say to yourself; ?I am not at my ideal weight yet!? Notice the ?Yet? part? Yes, well this will indeed be the topic of this discussion. You see genetically speaking not all of us are suppose to be anorexic Super Model Skinny. Yes, sure they look nice, but that is not how real humans look, especially in first world countries with abundance like the United States.
We all know that the only way to truly stay fit is to exercise regularly and continuously. You can modify your diet to meet the South Beach, Meat Only or South Florida diet as you wait for the power to come on after the Hurricane and nearly starve to death, but in the end you will gain it all back again if you do not exercise.
So, indeed, if we are going to be serious about this, then we ought to concentrate on your new workout program. Now then let?s face it you are somewhat out of shape right? Well then you need to start slow otherwise you might hurt yourself, have sore muscles or hurt your knees and that will ruin your new you look that you are looking for.
First thing you need is some good walking shoes, so I would like to recommend to you New Balance and buy a pair made for jogging and get them from a running store. This will insure you are not buying knock off versions, but rather good shoes with great support. Next pick out a good two mile enjoyable walk around the neighborhood and do this for 10-days, then go to four miles after that. When you feel comfortable jog some of it each time very slow and watch your knees and see who it feels, as the pounds come off you can decide to speed up the pace and maybe lengthen the distance some and you will have arrived. Couple this with whatever current diet plan works for you and you will be a winner and never be concerned with diet failure again. Think on this.
