What To Start With?

OK, now, What To Start With?

To get started with fitness, begin by getting through these basic first steps.

1. Meet with your doctor to talk about your overall health. Ask him for measurements of your blood pressure, your heart rate as well as any other important factors he may be interested in you improving. Determine that you are healthy enough physically to begin improving through diet and exercise.

2. Get your weight. Do this at home on a well programmed scale, not at your doctor’s office. Do it first thing in the morning after you’ve gone to the bathroom but before you have eaten. Do it the same time and same way every time you weigh yourself.

3. Calculate your BMI. You need this to see just how unhealthy you are currently. It’s going to come down and that will be quite rewarding!

4. Measure your waist. Stand up straight. Pull up your shirt, suck in your gut and measure at your belly button all the way around using a tape measure. This will be your indication of your weight loss and health improvement.

5. Set your goals. Determine what’s the most important for you to maintain, to improve on, and to work on first. note them down and post them in several places in your home.

Now that you have this done, you can begin to improve your health. We’ll help you throughout the process!
