Exercise
Do a quick Google search on exercises and you’ ll soon discover there’ s an exercise for every level.
�
There are extreme exercises that promise to make you vomit and make you unable to move the next day.
� There are other exercises that are lighter and focus more on flexibility.
But, we need to remember the foundation of exercise is cardio and resistance training; we need a balance of both.
� �
We need to increase our heart level. – Cardio And we need to strengthen our muscles. – Resistance training
Don’ t worry, just because you lift weights or do several pushups, it doesn’ t mean you’ re going to become a body builder.
However, if you choose to ignore resistance training you will become squishy and have things jiggle.
Here’ s what you need to know about lifting weights:
� Lift heavy weights and you’ ll grow your muscles. You’ ll want to feel tired between 8-10 reps.
�
Lift lighter weights and you’ ll tone your muscles. You’ ll know its light for you when you can do more reps, ideally 12-15 reps.
Other than keeping a balance of cardio and resistance training, you’ ll want to find an exercise program that is fun for you. Something you look forward to doing every day.
