Tune and strengthen your body - Start Getting in Shape Fast!
Make some time in your daily schedule to get a variety of exercise - both cardio and strength training will benefit you for years to come! If you've been out of the exercise habit for some time you may want to start slow and slowly progress into longer and more strenuous workouts.
Take 3–5 minutes at the beginning of any physical activity to properly warm up your muscles through increasingly more intense activity. As you near the end of your workout, cool down by decreasing your level of intensity. (For example, before jogging, walk for 3–5 minutes increasing your pace to a brisk walk. After jogging, walk briskly, decreasing your pace to a slow walk over 3–5 minutes. Finish by stretching the muscles you used-in this case primarily the muscles of the legs.)
Strength training requires little time and minimal equipment. Exercise - of any kind - will help you build strength, maintain bone density, improve balance, coordination, and mobility.
To take full advantage of the many benefits of strength training, it's important to progress, or consistently advance the intensity of your workout by challenging your muscles with heavier weights. This continuous challenge allows your muscles to grow strong and stay strong!
Exercise and building muscles will help you start getting in shape fast!
