What’s great about the new year is that there are bunch of fitness sites, mostly the magazines’ online presence that have fitness plans for the new year. I got an email from Women’s Health about their Ultimate Fitness Plan 2008 which is a 6 month plan and pretty much holds your hand as to what you should do that day. For exercises, they even let you see how to do the move step by step. You fill out what you did that day and comment on each exercise. I think doing this will help you when you see the bigger picture. Below is what the plan looks like.
Sign up is free and there are daily giveaways of a variety of fitness gear. I signed up and will give it a try because I thought that it looks pretty easy to follow. There’s nothing better than following a structured regimen! When you have a structured regimen, there are really no excuses in not knowing what to do as far as exercise is concerned.
Thoughts: For me, it is pretty scary to try something like this out, I know that because after taking a break from exercising and then following an exercise DVD (I did this today), I found that I was really out of shape. I promised myself that the new year would be different, and that I would be more healthy and in shape. I just keep telling myself, and constantly remind myself that I’m doing this for many reasons: to be healthy and to feel better about myself.
My name is Susan. When you think 'fitness' you think exercise and sweating. But there is more to life than that. Eating mindfully and being happy is also important. That is what this blog is all about.
