Back to Basics: Putting it Together 1






We’ve spent the month going over the basics of the various kinds of exercises that are beneficial for our bodies.  The thing is, we need to put the kinds together for maximum benefit.

If that sounds overwhelming, stop for a second and breathe.  Any exercise is better than no exercise and starting with what is manageable is always a good idea.  (Also:  it is my job to put things like this together, so if you need help, you could hire me.)

 

A person who has been exercising for a while might have a weekly workout schedule that looks something like this:

 

Monday:  cardio and stretching

Tuesday:  cardio warm-up, weights and stretching

Wednesday:  cardio and stretching

Thursday:  cardio warm-up, weights and stretching

Friday:  cardio and stretching

Saturday:  yoga or Pilates

Sunday:  rest

 

Notice that resting is right in there, looking important, because it is.  We don’t want to overdo things!

 

Go play.
