It is never too late to start a comprehensive exercise program. If you are a man over 40 or a woman over 50, check with your doctor first before starting any vigorous , as opposed to moderate, physical activity. Usually if the activity makes you breathe hard or sweat hard, it s vigorous. For most people, running is a vigorous activity, but for others, walking could be vigorous. It depends on you on the shape you re in and if you have any medical conditions.
Physical activity needs to be a regular, permanent habit, but sometimes it s hard to get motivated.
Try to find an activity you really enjoy doing, like walking, biking, or dancing, and ask a friend to join you having companionship is a great motivator. Start out with an exercise schedule that your body can tolerate and that you think you really can stick with, and build up from there. If you stop exercising for several weeks and then start it again, do it at about half the effort you were putting into it when you stopped, then gradually build back up. Remember, your body needs fuel. Eat a balanced diet it will help you build muscle and increase your energy and you won t have to take expensive supplements.
