If you are overweight or obese and you are starting on a weight loss program, you will be implementing physical activity to burn more calories than you consume.
As a beginner when you start to implement physical activity into your daily routine, don't try to do too much too soon. It is wise to start by making changes to any sedentary lifestyle habit, for example, sitting less at home or work.
The things that you normally do sitting, do as many as possible standing or walking. One example is reading the newspaper or reading the mail. Another is talking on the phone or sending text messages. These can all be done either standing or walking.
As soon as the decision is is made to lose weight and before you actually start on the journey, keep record of your physical activities. You want to know what your level of activity is to make changes.
The exercise you will need to start is 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobics each week; it is the recommended level of physical activity for everyone, not just the overweight. You will get this exercise through brisk walking, so it costs nothing.
You must master this level of activity first and be like everyone. It will be pointless to start jogging when you are not walking enough. if you haven't been walking enough and its been over years, it could be the reason why you are overweight.
Start walking!
Some lifestyles habits to avoid are:
Sitting for long periods
Watching TV for more than two hours
Driving to walking distances.
Too much sitting at work, home or leisure
Some lifestyles habits to adopt are: walking or standing instead of sitting
and taking the stairs when possible.
