[x]   Transcript: Getting started with exercise can feel like a huge undertaking, but Coach Kendra has some great ideas to get you off the couch and into better shape! Let's get started-it's easier than you think! Slow and steady wins the race when you are trying to get into the exercise habit - I want you to keep it simple, and begin by focusing on just one simple exercise. I'm going to show you five different exercises to choose from - pick the one you like best, and commit to doing it two or three more times in the next week. At the end of the week, you can reward yourself for your hard work by choosing another simple exercise to add to your routine. During the second week, do both of your exercises three times. Do them one after the other, so that you only need to set aside three times during the week. At the end of the second week, add a third exercise, and do all three exercises in a short session. Maintain a frequency of three exercise sessions a week, adding more exercises when you feel comfortable doing so. Now, I'm going to show you some simple exercises so that you can get started! The first exercise I want to show you is called Thin Tummy. You can do this exercise at the grocery store or while walking down the street. Let's move into some simple cardio exercises that you can slowly integrate into your life. Walking or running in place, at a moderate pace, is a great way to get your heart rate going and move you into fat-burning land. Start with a few minutes and gradually work your way up, adding a few minutes each week as you feel stronger and more comfortable. easy cardio exercise that you can incorporate is: I like to tell my clients to write down their weekly goals and put them up where they can see them, like on their bathroom mirror. It is a good idea to provide yourself with a constant reminder of what you've accomplished so far-it will help keep you motivated. Beginning an exercise program is a great first step towards living a healthier life. With careful planning and commitment, you can do it! Want to learn more?
