As a part of American College of Sports Medicine, I am very proud of how much progress the association made in Exercise is Medicine. Exercise is Medicine helps personal trainers to promotes physical activity through working closely with health care professionals. To anyone who are under the age 65 and without any chronic disease or condition trying to start an exercise program, Exercise is Medicine is recommending following steps:
1. Set aside time each day to exercise.
This is to help you to make your health a priority and a part of your schedule.
2. Choose cardiovascular activities you enjoy.
This step is to help you to learn to enjoy exercising, which will help you to keep on exercising.
3. Start with 10 to 15 minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily.
This step is to help you to acclimatize to exercising. The duration can be increased every week by increment of 5 minutes until you reach 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per day for at least five days a week. More is usually needed for weight loss/weight management.
4. Incorporate strength training into your routine.
This step is to help you to preserve your functional strength and to optimize your health. Also, strength training is a crucial part of weight loss/weight management plan.
