Walking to Become a Slimmer YouWritten by Bette L. Hall CMA, NHC

Getting right to point - you should walk no less than thirty minutes per day four times each week. That's 30 minutes each day 4 times each week. Fitness gurus recommend any aerobic activity for twenty minutes each day, three times each week. Possibly that is a good recommendation for those who want cardiovascular fitness. But we are talking about weight loss here. To reiterate - you should walk no less than 30 minutes each day 4 times each week. Forty minutes five times each week would be better. Your ultimate goal should be one hour six times each week. Don't set your aim that high at first. Gradually work up to ultimate goal. Don't set yourself up for a let down. For now, set your sight on walking thirty minutes, four times each week. 30 minutes each day, 4 times each week You might be thinking to yourself, "She sure repeats herself a lot." I repeat formula of walking thirty minutes each day, four times each week because I want you to get it. I want it to sink in to your subconscious.

Remember these stretching tips when doing following exercises: Always warm up before stretching. Warming up gives your body a chance to deliver plenty of nutrient rich blood to areas about to be exercised, which warms muscles and lubricates joints Do not bounce or bob when you stretch -- not only is this not effective, but you could injure yourself. Take each stretch slow to point where tension can be felt, but not pain. Never stretch torn or injured muscles unless you have consulted with your doctor. Hold each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Always complete each stretch for both sides of your body, when applicable. Always cool down and relax after a stretching routine. By cooling down, you can help prevent injuries and muscle soreness from your workout.
