Lets Get Stepping!

Happy New Year!

I have been getting lots of email in the past few days from readers from some of my other fitness sites, asking how to get started on an exercise program. With the start of the New Year, we all have good intentions, but sometimes they never get realized for some reason or another.

So, here is my suggestion.

Just do something. If you are finding it difficult to allot yourself some serious time to workout, take it in smaller increments, but do something.

Walking is my all time favorite workout because it is easy. For instance, lunchtime- why not take a quick 10 minute walk around your office parking lot, or run up and down the stairs several times to get the blood flowing. We are not talking about breaking into a full workout, just something to get you moving.

How about giving yourself 30 minutes in the am to workout. Sure, no one likes to get up early to workout. But if you give it a try, I'll bet you have more energy during the day, sleep better at night and are more likely to stick to a healthy eating program.

If you are serious about improving your health, try my free walking challenge and in 6 weeks you will have dramatically improved your health, lost weight and toned your body.
