The Best Time To Start An Exercise Program

 The best time to start a weight loss program was last year; the second best time is right now.
When is the perfect time to start your exercise or weight loss program? When you have more time, when you have finished some project at work, when the stars have alined.  There will always be a reason why you should wait to start your exercise program.  My advice is to start with a very small step that will not overwhelm you.  For example, let say you don't exercise at all and you would really like to start .  I would begin with 3 aerobic workouts per week of 5 minutes each.  Yes, I did say 5 minutes each! If 5 minutes is too long, do only 1 minute.  The reaction I usually get when I tell people to do only 5 minutes is, that 5 minutes will not do anything.  Besides, don't all the fitness experts advise that 20 minutes is the minimum aerobics you should do 3 to 5 times per week?  Well, they are actually wrong!  If somebody does not do any aerobics, 1 minute of aerobics is better than no minutes.
So, start today with one minute of aerobics and go from there.  As you getting into the habit of exercise make the aerobics longer but I would never exceed 40 minutes per aerobic workout. 
Of course for a workout to be complete you must do some form of resistance training.  Again start small.  I would personally start with 5 basic exercises.  One for the chest, like push ups, one for the back, like bent over rows, one for the legs, like squats, one for the abs, like ball crunches and one for the lower back, like hyperextensions on the ball.  The whole thing should not take you more than 10 minutes.  Later on you can add more exercises as you getting more comfortable with exercising.
Remember, first you must develop the exercise habit and once you have developed it, push to get results.  This way you have a much smaller chance of burning out. 
 Starting an exercise program is easier than you might think.
