What Exercise Should I be Performing to Burn Body Fat?

Mostly it depends on your fitness level and if you have any type of injuries, back pain or medical conditions that may affect what you can and can't do. Make sure you check with your doctor first before starting any type of exercise or eating program, so he / she can indicate and provide you with a letter verifying that it is "ok" for you to start exercising and at what level. One more point... If you're attending a gym or purchasing gym equipment please make the effort to ensure that your fitness level is suited to the equipment or program you're performing. If in doubt seek advice from a professional - don't just assume because your next door neighbour or friend does it you can.

Things that You Should Do Before You Get Started!

Being organised with food preparation is very very important. It is exhausting coming home after a long day and realising you have to then magically put something together for dinner (amongst other things) You can bet the children would jump for joy if you offered them Mac's - added bonus... there's no washing up the dishes after dinner either...Sound familiar?

First you may want to make notes on what time of the day, when and where that you will most probably find it the most difficult to stick to this program. If, say for instance, "calling in at the drive thru for fast food on the way home from work or picking the children up" is where you find that you are most likely to go wrong with your eating plan then be prepared for it by making the appropriate changes. eg Having a meal which is already partly prepared (veggies chopped) in the fridge so that it will only take an extra 10 - 15 minutes to cook. If you take a small amount of time out each week to do some food preparation it will take a huge load of your shoulder when it comes time to cook your meals.
