I’ve gained alot of weight this past year… about 40 pounds!! I’ve come to learn now that alot of it has to do with stress, depression, etc.
I’m in my 40’s and I realize it may be more difficult for a woman my age to lose weight. However, I am determined.
I’m looking for suggestions on a good at-home exercise program via the Internet that’s accompanied by a reasonable diet. At my age, I need to watch what I eat more closely.. I’ve been in a relationship for the past 2 years after being single for over 20 years, and we end up eating out alot, which I don’t like!
I just made the transition of renting a room to renting an apartment (finally) and am ready to start a diet & exercise plan online. Any suggestions???
Thx~!
The key to starting an exercise routine is to make the changes slowly. You can’t go from being sedentary to active overnight and hope to succeed. Start out by exercising 1-2 times per week and eventually moving up to 3-5 times per week. Only increase the amount of exercise you do per week when you feel ready.
Exercise routines also have to be well rounded to be successful. You need elements of flexibility, cardiovascular and strength training. You don’t need to go to the gym to get a good workout, but having access to that type of equipment is a definite plus. Flexibility isn’t very intensive and can be done on most if not all days of the week. It won’t directly help you with your goals but it will lead to better performance - it will make exercising a lot easier.
Cardio should be done 3-5 times per week while strength training should be done 2-3 times per week. The more weight you want to lose, the more you need to exercise.

Maybe try Jillian Micheals .com I hear she personalizes a plan just for you ( but it’s not free ).
