Can Anyone Sugest an Exercise Program for Beginners to Help with Weight Loss?

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: I haven’t exercised much for 5 years (used to play squash, swim and do circuit training), and have put on a surplace stone or 2 which i need to lose. I already eat healthily, wth lots of fruit and veg and very little "junk food" but the excess weight remains. I am not excessively overweight, but want to do something now before it becomes a problem
Cheers for all the advice and encouragement, I’ve got some great tips from you all. I’m going to try a bit of walking/ jogging tonight and see how I get on (no time like the present to get started!) I’m not completely unfit as i do walk a lot and cycle a little bit. Thanks again guys!
Answer: I would agree with the swimming as it use all your muscles and has the water for buoyancy, start slowly and as time goes on then build up you will find it will tone and the endorphins will make you feel great.

Other wonderful exercise is walking maybe getting off the bus at a stop before you own then walking to your office,going out on the weekends with friends or a partner walking somewhere this will help keep your bones healthy and is good cardio vascular.

What about Pilate’s I have become hooked and in a period of six weeks I can see a difference and it works wonders for your stomach!

What ever exercise you choose make sure it is one you enjoy as the worse thing is doing it and finding reasons not to continue.If the weight does not shift do not get despondent because it goes on quicker than coming off, just keep going and the results will appear.

Other thought a bike ride in good weather what a great way to move around and keep healthy.

Your eating sounds fine drink loads of water.

Just put your mind to it call it changing your life style and looking after your body for the future.

Good Luck
You can do it….

  2. I did Tae Bo after I had my little girl, I had not exercised in a very long time due to complications… try it, you can take your time and get better at it as you go. Yoga is great too

  5. i love walking. it is the best i think, especially when you are starting out again. walking outside is better than walking on a treadmill, but either will work. try walking faster and faster until you are practically runnung, but don’t run.
