Okay Mom's, Let's Get It Started: Part 2: A Trainer's P.O.V.

January 11, 2007

Getting Started:

Whether it's 15 minutes or 30 minutes, every little bit counts. Find a neighbor, a friend or even a dog :). If there's no one to keep you company bring your music along or just get lost in your thoughts (which is not a bad thing). Sometimes I find that very soothing when going on long walks. If you don't have anyone to watch junior, put him or her in the jogging stroller. :)

Try to pick a route that's a little challenging (with a few hills for example). You want to feel like you're working so push a little. You may want to consider a heart rate monitor. This will help you keep track of how hard you're working and progress being made.

BE PATIENT, BE CONSISTENT AND MOSTLY JUST HAVE FUN!!! Please let me know how you're doing.

Stay tuned, there's more in store!!! :)
