Exercise Workout Plan 1 - If You're Overweight

This is a workout plan for beginners

1. Overcome Barriers Before setting yourself an exercise program, you need to address all the reasons that will stop you from doing it! I'm too busy - don't have enough time It's all a matter of priorities really... If something is important enough to you, you will make time for it. I am embarrassed about the way I look when exercising Find a friend to do it with you or exercise at home. I'm afraid of injury Many people start out and do too much in too little time. Find exercise that suits you - and begin with something gentle (i.e. walking). I don't have access to any fitness equipment Walking is something that can be done anywhere, as is home exercise videos. I'm too overweight to exercise Over time physical activity will become easier. Some exercises are more suited to larger bodies than others (such as swimming, walking, treadmills, and elliptical trainers).

2. Make A Workout Plan
If possible, make a plan of exercise goals, a basic timetable of when, where, and how, you will stick to it.

 3. Phasing In Start with whatever you can achieve. Aim for 20 minutes of walking. If you can't achieve this, then stop when you can. Your goal is to walk 20 minutes a day for 5 days a week. Make sure you have good shoes! This can make all the difference. If you are not used to exercising, your joints and muscles will take a short while to get used to it.

 4. Mixing It Up The human body is remarkably adaptable. The best way to keep your exercise efforts functional is to add variety.

Here are some other cardio alternatives you can put in your workout plan:

 Walking Many people find that a pedometer is a useful tool to have while walking. A pedometer will track your steps and help you to set goals each walk. The pedometer can be strapped to your waistband, and will count your steps. Aim for a weekly increase of 500-1000 steps. Expect to pay between $20-40 for a reasonable pedometer.

 Swimming This can be a low-impact exercise that has minimal impact upon your joints. Swimming strengthens the upper body as well as involving the lower body.

 Jogging Very popular form of exercise, but not particularly well suited to you if you are a larger person. Jogging and running place significant stresses on bones and joints. However, it is one way to fit more exercise in a shorter space of time! Stretching is essential.

 Cardio Equipment One of the most popular methods of exercise today is by using fitness equipment. Treadmills, rowing machines, elliptical trainers, and stationary bicycles are just some of the options available. Most of this equipment is available in you local gym or fitness center. However, for many of us, going to these places can be disconcerting. Purchasing your own equipment is an option.

The workout plan you choose should be comfortable to you! Don"t overdo it and take your time! Do it at you leisure because if you don't you wont work efficiently and it will be more of a must do then want to and cause you not to succeed. So the first thing you should do in put it in your mind and be happy with the decision to become fit and start your workout plan.
