Beginning Exerciser
Congratulations...You're ready to get started with exercise!
As a beginning exerciser, you may be confused about where to start. Have no fear because I've put together some resources to get you started:
12 Weeks to Weight Loss
This free program is designed to help you get started with cardio,
strength training, flexibility exercises and healthy eating. Start here if
you want a program already made up for you but keep in mind it isn't one-size
fits all...modify where you need to!
Beginner's Corner
This is the place to start if you've never exercised and have no idea what to
do. It provides step-by-step instructions on what you should do before you
get started, how to
get ready and how to set up a complete exercise program.
Beginner Cardio Workouts
These workouts are for beginners who are able to exercise for up to 15
minutes at a time (although they can be modified if you need to do less).
The workouts include a basic 13-minute walking workout (either outside or on a
treadmill) and a beginner 10-minute cycling workout. These workouts are
great if you haven't exercised in a while and want to ease into cardio
training.
Beginner Strength Training Workouts
No matter what your fitness level, you'll find a workout to fit your needs. Choose one or more of the following workouts to get started:
