How You Will Get Fit Safely Before Summer

By Willie Young


Bathing suit months isn't that far off so everyone is already starting to quit their holiday and winter eating habits in order to get in shape before the weather gets too hot to hide their bodies under super heavy layers of clothing. So many people dive straight into working out all the time because they are desperate to lose weight and get into shape before anybody gets to see their body. Sadly, working to get in shape too fast could truly hurt your health. Doctors everywhere agree that it won't help you to just jump into a daily workout routine. So what should you do to get in shape prior to bathing suit season arrives?

Before you decide to do anything else, you have to see your doctor. Ask a medical professional for a total system work up and check up. This will help you discover your best starting place for working out and getting in shape. Your doctor will help you figure out a good goal weight and body mass index and also tell you whether or not you have any health conditions that you need to keep in mind as you work to get in shape. Your health care provider will allow you to assemble some nutritional guidelines so that you can also work to get your diet under control.

Start bit by bit. Do not try to run too far too quickly too soon. A beneficial course for starting to get into shape is the Couch to 5K plan. This is a program which will slowly but surely increase your running workouts until you're able to run a 5K marathon. Of course, to get fit you need to do more than simply run. You also need to start doing some weight training and cardiovascular workouts as well. If you don't have time for that many exercise sessions, find a way to use the Couch to 5K program to a swimming routine so that you can work all of your body systems slowly but surely.



Put together a support team. If you can find folks to do the work with you you will have a much greater possibility of losing weight and getting in shape when you have a support group even if you find your weight gain embarrassing. You can work together to eat right and exercise-these are generally folks who can go to weight watchers meetings with you, take exercise classes with you, etc. If you don't want to do this with individuals in your typical life, you can generally find this kind of emotional support on the internet. There are lots of online support groups for people who are attempting to lose weight that you can join.

The simple truth is that it is about to take time to reduce weight and get into shape. The sooner you start to modify your diet plan and exercise habits the better off you will be. The sooner you place your adjustments in place the easier you will find getting in shape to be. Try to keep in mind this is a scenario when slow and steady really does win the race: your health and body will thank you for your efforts in bathing suit season.
