If your goal is to lose weight and look good then you are definitely on the right track! LOOKING AND FEELING TERRIFIC! Your body needs fuel to work efficiently. Just cutting calories is not always enough. The type of food and how much you eat is what counts. The enclosed diet plan is designed to give you a wide variety of foods, in the correct proportions, so you can achieve your desired goals. EXERCISE AND YOU Exercise burns additional calories, tones muscles and gives you added energy. Pick an aerobic exercise that you enjoy - jogging, step aerobics, walking, biking. During week one, exercise for 10 minutes, 3-4 times per week. Week two, exercise for 12-15 minutes, 3-4 times per week. Continue to increase your workout time until you are exercising 30-40 minutes, 4-5 times per week. And don t forget to stretch! Stretching helps decrease injury, improve muscle tone and make you feel relaxed. Please consult with your doctor before beginning any diet or exercise plan.
