The type of exercise you do all depends
on you and what you like to do. What you
hate doing, paying membership fees, and whether or not to buy equipment are all
things you need to consider as well as answer.
If you choose something that you don't
like to do, you aren't going to keep doing it for a long period of time. Give it some thought - if you don't like jogging,
you aren't going to get up at 6 AM and go running. If you can't find something you like to do,
choose something you hate the least, which will normally be walking.
Walking is great exercise, as it suits
all levels of fitness. Anyone can start
a walking program at any time, it's normally the intensity
and duration that differs. Walking is also a social exercise, as it isn't difficult to find a training
partner to chat with while you exercise.
Walking with a partner will also make time go by
faster.
No matter what exercise you choose, you
should start at a low level of intensity
and build it up
over a period of weeks, which is
essential to the longevity of your exercise program. If you start off too hard, you could end up
with an injury which will require time off to get over.
If you are really in bad shape, you
should start off by walking for 10 minutes each day. Then,
increase it by 5 minutes every 2
weeks. To make things more interesting,
you should try walking a different course every few days. You can also roster a different friend to
walk with you each day of the week.
If walking isn't your thing, then you
may want to try a fitness center. They
have loads of variety and normally have trainers on
hand to answer any questions you may
have. When you choose a fitness center, make sure that
they give good service.
If they aren't willing to treat you well
before you join, then they certainly won't after you join.
You should also make sure that the equipment they use is well taken care
of. It's easy to find out, as all you have to do is
listen to the machines. If they squeak a
lot or make noise, then chances are they aren't being taken
care of.
If you still aren't sure what you should
do, then you should look into golf or tennis.
Both are good social activities in most areas,
and you can even meet new friends. Tennis
is great for fitness although it isn't for someone who is just starting out. If you haven't exercised in a long time, then
golf may be the best activity for you.
