Need to Start
| Wed, 02-25-2004 - 12:01am |
Hi all,..
Ive been here before,. months,.. years ago, im not even sure, Ive started and failed so many times before, But I know i need a change, Im thinking of starting the DASH diet. Dietary approach to Stopping hypertension, which is basically your food pyramid with lowfat dairy. My main question is, since I've been sedentary for years and am very overweight, what exercise program/tape etc. can i do to ease myself into a better lifestyle?
thanks!

Hi Heather! Good for you doing something for yourself! Dont beat yourself up for the past, look to the future.
I agree on the walking. I am working Weight Watchers, I like being able to eat what my family eats. (Sounds like you can with your plan too.)
I use Walk Away the Pounds too. It is quick (20 minutes with warm up and cool down) for the 1 mile walk. It starts you out exercising. No fancy moves to learn. (some kicks and side steps but you dont have to do them) I moved up to the 2 mile walk today! And this is not expensive I got one dvd with 3 walks on it (1 mile, 2 mile , 3 mile) and a belt with bands to do stretching for like $20 last year. I can do this in the privacy of my own home (a real plus for me) and stores in a small box by the tv. (LOL I sound like an ad!) But it is the easiest thing I have ever done -- I am clumsy so that was most important.
Good Luck ! Valerie
