I can improve my level of Exercise by.....

p.... pretending to be a bunny? =o.o=

For me, is has been a gradual process. I started off by doing beginner-type cardio exercises, like walking and biking. Now, I have progressed to doing more intense cardiovascular exercise most days of the week (mostly inline skating). I started off with doing short periods of exercise, and then moved to longer periods.

doing some stretching, take the bus one or two streets away instead of nearest and using it only for longer distances. play more outside with pets or kids

Figuring out what it means to improve my level of exercise, because at the moment I don't really know what that looks like for me.

When I first started out, I started by just taking a walk outside, then I found a local community center with an indoor track and exercise equipment for almost Free~.. So...I started walking the indoor track, and just doing simple laps for about 45mins-hour then I started using the equipment there and the treadmill, and began jogging a bit on it.......Then this is where I saw my FIRST Zumba class!.....I joined up, got involved, improved my cardio-vascular health and weight, then became a ZUMBA Instructor and was teaching anywhere from 4-7 classes a week for an hour at a time (something I would have never saw myself doing).......as my health and endurance improved, I also began an outdoor Bootcamp program as well 3-5 days a week. I no longer do the bootcamp..., but have different Dvds at home that I like to incorporate.

I think tracking fitness workouts, and organizing them into a weekly schedule, can prove to be an effective tool for ensuring progress and success in your healthy living goals. I also think planning out your favourite exercise activities to do, also maximizes your chances for success, as you are more likely to keep up with a fitness routine which you find enjoyable and comfortable for yourself, yet still allowing for challenge at the same time.
