5.Check With an Expert
Everyone needs to use good form when they exercise. But it’s even more important when you’re overweight. Extra weight can throw off your center of gravity and change the way you hold your body. It also puts extra stress on your joints. Book an appointment or two with a trainer or physical therapist who knows about weight issues. They can show you the right posture and help you build up your balance so you can exercise safely.
6.Exercise Options
The best exercise is something you enjoy and will stick with. Try different things that interest you, and see what you like. Remember that a well-rounded program includes both cardio and strength training. Check out the options at your local gym or community center. If you find a class or teacher you like, become a “regular.” If you’re uncomfortable working out in front of other people, there are lots of DVDs and online programs to try.
