THE FAT BLOCKER DIET: DESIGN YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM

If you’re over 40 or you have any illnesses or ailments, see your physician first. Look for an exercise that’s enjoyable; you’re more likely to stick with it. Be sure to stretch and warm up appropriately, and never overdo it.
Let me repeat that. It’s just as important as a sensible, unthreatening eating program. Don’t try to do more exercise than you enjoy and can keep doing. If you start by moving from essentially no exercise to a daily regimen of an hour of heavy aerobics, you’ll exhaust yourself, probably feel nauseous, and quit. If you overstrain your body, it will rebel. Pain, tiredness, excessive panting, overheating, heart palpitations—none of these symptoms of overexertion are good for you, and your body knows it. In reaction, it forces you to slow down, and it sends ever more urgent messages to your brain to tell you to stop being so
foolish.
Rather, start your exercise program slowly by adding just a little more to what you are currently doing. Try to make it fun. And always keep this goal in mind when you’re exercising: You want to burn calories, increase your metabolic rate, and improve your health, not set Olympic records.
