Exercise
Exercise is a necessary part of losing weight and maintaining your weight loss. If you do not exercise currently, we recommend you wait 2-3 weeks before you begin an exercise program. Start an exercise program slowly and gradually increase time spent on an activity (and intensity of the activity) as your body allows. Choose an activity that you enjoy so you can stick with it. Most of our customers find walking to be the easiest activity to incorporate into their day on a regular basis. Make exercise a daily habit. Start with a ten minute walk. You can also dance, swim, walk the dog, take the stairs, go to the gym, or perform any activity that you enjoy and are able to do.
If you currently exercise, we recommend cutting the exercise program in half for the first couple of weeks. This allows your body to adjust to the new calorie level. As your body adjusts to this lower calorie level, you can increase time and intensity of your exercise plan. Listen to your body and only do what it allows. If you feel light-headed or faint, stop your exercise and take a rest before you resume.
Remember to drink fluids. Fluid intake is important when you exercise. You may find that you need additional water, especially if it is hot
outside.
