The easiest plan to a fit body begins with the easiest exercise: Walking
Every get-fit plan should start with a basic 30-minute daily walk for 30 days. It will prime your
body for the muscle-toning and stamina-building exercises you need in order to go from couch potato
to hot tamale. Chet or skip this simplestep and you run the risk of injuring yourself and falling off
the fitness wagon.
First things First
According to RealAge experpert Mehmet Oz, MD, an out-of-shape muscle is deficient in two things' tiny
powerhouse factories (called mitochondria) that generate juice for your workouts, and contractile
proteins that give the muscle strength. And walking for 30 minutes a day--or for 10 minutes three times a day
--for a month repleanishes mitochondria and contractile proteins, so your body will be ready and able
to build on your fitness routine.
When you are ready to expand your exercise:
After 30 days of walking, add 10 minutes of resistance training, focusing on the large muscle groups of
your body (back, abs, quads, glutes, shoulders and harmstrings) every other day.
The next month add another 10 minutes of resistance training, hitting your remaining muscle groups
(chest, shoulders, and arms) every other day.
Congratulations! After 90 days, you'll be ready to bust out your cutest workout gear and showcase your
skills in Salsa Step or Morning Muscle Up class. Add 21 minutes of stamina-building exercise to your
routine three times a week.
