If you have been following along with the first 3 steps of Getting Started, then you are already over the hump and ready now to make the changes more than just a temporary part of your life. Now it is time to stay serious about your health. The first 3 steps gave you very simple, short, easy to understand concepts that will allow you to lose weight and start getting back into shape. You have a decent idea of exercises that you can do, foods that you can eat, and how you should feel after a good workout and a good meal. Now it is up to you to keep pushing forward. If you have a weight loss goal, keep pushing toward it. If you reach it, don't stop! Keep up with the healthy habits you have begun.
Here's your next step...
Fitness step #4
Begin a consistent workout routine.
Healthy Eating Step #4
Eat 5-6 meals throughout the day.
Start working out 3-5 days a week. Combine cardio with Resistance training and switch up your routine every 6-8 weeks. Use the Workout programs on the Getting Started page to begin and progress as you can. Also, eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day will increase your metabolism (which allows you to burn more calories, even while you are resting) and curbs your appetite so you are less likely to binge. Plan your meals ahead of time so you have healthy foods available and don't give yourself an excuse to run and get fast food. Doing these things will dramatically alter your body type over time.
So there you have it 4 simple steps to getting on the path to the you that you've always wanted. Good luck, see you at the gym!
