Advice

For anyone who does decide they want to exercise as part of your diet, listen up:

If this is your first time exercising
or
if this is your first time back exercising (after not exercising for anything more than a week)
please take this advice.

No matter how good you feel, start off slow. Do not go into an exercise program, whether it is lifting, jogging, or jazzercising and start off too hard. Ease into your program. Building up to a good work out should take about a week. The first day go very light. You may feel great the second day, and you may want to do more, but don't. Stay light. After 3 or 4 work-outs you can increase the intensity. The worst thing to do to your body is work it so hard that the next day you have no desire to do it again. The better you feel the more you will want to work out. So start off slow and build the intensity. Believe me, your body will be thanking you in the morning.
