Re: Starting a new exercise program - but planning first!

*joy dot:kitty curled on couch next to me "cat napping"

Great planning but make sure you go carefully and ease into it. We got a treadmil few yrs ago. I started real slow and built up. I wanted something I would stick with and want to do every morning. 2 yrs later still walking! :h2)

: In the past before RR I would have
: just jumped into a program without
: thought or planning. But not this
: time - it feels strange but good
: to just plan first.

: I lost 50 lbs since I started RR and
: did it with out any type of
: exercising. So now I am a perfect
: weight but have zilch muscle tone.
: I decided to try the P90X. I
: located a set of CDs from a
: coworker and am going to check out
: the CDs prior to starting the
: program. Don't want to buy them
: first and then find out this will
: not work for me. I contacted my
: doctor this morning to talk to him
: about his opinion of the program
: and if he thought it would be good
: for me. He told be what his
: concerns were and what I needed to
: do to prevent injury and asked for
: me to make an appointment with him
: my first week of the program (he
: is a chiropractor). I have done
: research on-line on what to do to
: prevent injury with this program.
: I will be getting the CDs this
: week and will watch each one all
: the way through (sitting on the
: couch) just so I can see what it
: is all about before starting the
: program. I will be joining the
: exercise forum to get some tips. I
: will be planning my exercise
: accordingly so that it happens at
: the right time with my meals. If
: it is before a meal but still to
: early to eat a full meal I will
: eat a RR friendly snack. And if I
: work out after a meal I will plan
: on having a RR friendly snack
: after the program. I also plan on
: getting my basement ready and all
: the equipment needed prior to
: starting the program.

: It feels good to think though things
: before hand instead of jumping in
: head first.
