However, participating in recommended levels of daily activity can reduce risk and is essential to obesity treatment.
As an exercise physiologist, I support my clients in making short- and long-term movement goals.
Once you pinpoint your why, you’re free to create goals to support it.
Christian Jones / Verywell
Pay attention to how you feel.
Tracking your goals and monitoring your progress can help you stay motivated and stick with your program.
You must give yourself grace and time to adjust to a new routine.
Fun activities are different for each person.
Or, if youre not comfortable exercising around other people, dont join a gym.
Once they’re comfortable, we make various adjustments to increase the intensity.
When you are ready to start, choose an activity you are already comfortable with, like walking.
Then, select two or three days of the week to walk and follow that schedule.
As an exercise physiologist, I develop an in-depth understanding of my clients and their goals.
Start where you are and progress slowly.
Life will undoubtedly get in the way sometimes, so give yourself grace.
