The First Two Weeks

For the first two weeks of my program I will be exercising every other day.

How I eat is an every day concern, and I will be focused on the fact that the key to my success will be mealtime.

As far as strength and cardiovascular work, I feel it important to give my body adequate rest at the beginning. Muscle and other tissues need to repair. I am suddenly putting my body under stress after a long period of very little activity. I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET INJURED OR DISCOURAGED, ESPECIALLY AT THE EARLY STAGES.

It's all part of my longterm strategy. I would suggest being conservative with initial workout goals and being determined to make progress every day. With diet, every day that you eat right is a victory. With exercise, start small. INCREASE YOUR INTENSITY A LITTLE AT A TIME IN A WAY THAT'S SAFE AND ACHIEVABLE.

One success after another will lead to real and lasting results.
