TRAINING TIPS
How you start an exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been
inactive for awhile or you have pre-existing health condition, you should start slowly.
Initially you may only be able to exercise for a short amount of time using minimal
resistance levels or weight loads.
Begin your desired training program slowly and gradually increase the amount of time
you exercise. Apply realistic goals, that have been set by you or your physician. You
should see sufficient gains in your personal fitness level within 6-8 weeks of continuous
exercise, but do not be discouraged if it takes longer. It is very important to exercise at
your own pace and become confident in obtaining your goals. It is also important to apply
warm-up, stretching, and cool down periods with any exercise program.
As your fitness level increases, so will your confidence and sense of accomplishment.
Regular exercise and a healthy diet will energize you and offer a sense of well-being.
