Heart Healthy Weight Loss

Plenty of aerobic, heart pumping exercise combined with eating healthy foods are the keys you need to shed those unwanted pounds. Kickstart your metabolism with some early morning protein. Then get as much exercise as you can throughout the day!


Start getting in better shape fast by taking a walk. Yes, a nice, pleasureful, low-stress, relaxing walk. Burn some calories and let your mind wander. Catch up on your thoughts while you enjoy nature and start your journey to a fitter, leaner body!








Step 1. Go for a walk. It’s that easy to reap the benefits of moderate endurance exercise. Each time you go - simply walk a little farther. As the weeks pass, gradually increase the pace, and distance of your walks.


Step 2. Every two weeks, increase the duration of your workout by five minutes. Also, add five minutes of total-body stretches to the beginning and end of your workouts (for a total of 10 minutes of stretching). Improving your flexibility makes your workouts easier over time.


Step 3. After exercising moderately for a month, add a five-minute vigorous workout three days a week. For example, if you’re walking, speed up to a fast walk or slow jog for a total of five minutes, on three of the days you work out. After two weeks, increase the higher intensity portion of the workout to 10 minutes. Two weeks later, increase it to 15 minutes of vigorous exercise, and then two weeks later do 20 minutes of vigorous activity, three to four days a week. This is a healthy activity that will help you reduce your chance of illness and find more pleasure and vigor in your life.







If you are unable to find time to walk for 30 minutes at one time, take a few mini exercise breaks. Try several 10 or 15-minute walks a day. It all adds up to better health. For the best results many avid walkers enjoy at least 45 minutes of brisk walking. Start today – Exercise is - for many - the quickest way to lose weight!

You’re probably already walking more than you think. And by taking advantage of opportunities all around you to walk more every day, you’ll be surprised at how quickly the steps add up! Walk up the stairs instead of riding the escalator at the mall; take an after dinner walk with your family; choose the farthest spot in the lot at work; eat lunch outdoors instead of at your desk.

Walking 30 minutes or more a day at a brisk pace is an excellent start to your weight loss program. Keep eating healthy foods and keep walking!

Tone and Trim

If you want to lose a few pounds or tone up your body - Start small – make a few healthy choices in your diet and make an exercise plan! Adopt some simple habits and enjoy a long and healthy life. Take a few small steps each week and gradually increase your exercise times.

Start exercising and building muscle today and before long you will see a difference. A healthier outlook towards life, a slimmer, healthier body.

















Set aside a regular exercise time. Whether this means joining an exercise class or getting up a little earlier every day, make time for this addition to your routine and don’t let anything get in your way. Planning ahead will help you avoid or eliminate interruptions in your workout schedule, such as bad weather and vacations.




Set a few short term goals for yourself. Write them down and review them every day. No one can reasonably expect to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. It has taken awhile for you to gain the weight, it will take time to lose it. Keep a record of your progress and tell your friends and family about your achievements.












Make the choice. Then take action. You don't have to worry about losing 10 pounds in 5 days or any of the outlandish claims you hear on TV. Start small - and stick with it! Think of your health as a never ending journey. And enjoy the ride!
