Don’t push too hard:  When you first start any new exercise program , everything should be done in moderation. Find the level of exercise and training that suits you. It should be enough to challenge you, but also comfortable so that you don’t hurt yourself. 

The following is an example of how your first week of your weight loss program might look: 

Day 1: The first day of the weight loss program involves a long and steady walk in a little over twenty minutes. After the walk, follow it up with a good stretch. This takes so little of your time for the first day. In less than an hour, you have taken that first step to a weight loss program that could work to your advantage.

Day 2: By the second day, it is good to focus on an upper-body workout. This maintains your strength to be able to go through the whole weight loss program for the week.

Day 3: On the third day, a brisk walk or jog for ten minutes is in order. For starters,  consider doing a lower body workout in the evening if needed.

Day 4: On the fourth day, a good rest is in order, as well as a good stretch. This down time should be used wisely and help you to get refocused on your goals and what you want to accomplish

Day 5: The fifth day could start with a good ten-minute walk. Exercise the lower body in four sessions of workouts, follow this up with another ten-minute walk, and another four sessions of lower body workout.

After developing a wheat and dairy allergy over the last few years, I decided to find better ways to eat to feel better. Although I DO eat meat, I often seek out GF Vegan diet to avoid dairy and eggs (my new allergy lately). I hope you enjoy the variety of articles shared here.
