Starting a Fitness Program: Designing a Workout
Email Page
4. Designing Your Program. This is the second most complex part of your overall program. The reason it is so complex is because exercise is different for each individual person. Have you worked out before? If so, how much and for how long? Do you have any knee problems? These and many other factors will have an effect on your program. The best advice I can give to anyone is to lift weights three times a week, training your entire body each day. At the end of each of your weight workouts, do at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. For optimum results, complete one more cardiovascular workout during the week. eDiets members can get help with specific exercise selection, sets and reps you should perform, by visiting Chief Fitness Pro Raphael Calzadilla's Exercise & Fitness support board.

It seems as if I start on a diet for one day but then just stop. I will get so serious about starting a diet and after one day just blow it off. I have tried everything. My main problem is eating when I am bored. Most of my eating is between lunch and dinner. I feel like I need to eat all the time. I need to quit eating all the snacks. But I just can't. It's so addictive.
