Beginner's Training Program

How does someone go from a 43 year old, 240 pound, life-time smoker, overeater, and drinker to a marathoner? Slowly... that's how. All of us get to where we are one day at a time, and that's how we have to get to where we want to be.

This program has no instructions for WHAT activity to do, just some indications of HOW LONG to do it. The most important part of a new program of activity is to start gently and be patient.

That first week, just get off the sofa and out of your house. Walk around your neighborhood or walk around the mall, it doesn't matter. What's important is that you just get started.

This program is designed to help you break free from sedentary confinement. It shouldn't hurt, you shouldn't be in pain, and most of all, you shouldn't HATE it.

And DON'T do more than is recommended. Just take it easy, enjoy yourself, and learn to find satisfaction in moving your body!!

As with any changes in lifestyle, you should check with your doctor before starting.
