Step Two - Make a plan

Please do the PAR-Q self evaluation to determine if you can safely begin an exercise program.

What kind of exercise are you going to do? 
I recommend walking and stretching to start.   After a couple of weeks, keep walking and try a new type of exercise like yoga, biking, or aerobics.  If you find something you like to do,  your chances of being successful with an exercise program has just doubled. 

Who are you going to workout with?
Some people are self motivated and like to workout by themselves,  but most people will do better if they workout with someone else.  Find a workout partner.

When are you going to workout?
Everyone has 24 hours in a day.  "No Time" is an excuse.  Get out of bed in the morning or turn off the TV in the evening.  You don't have to spend too much time to get a good workout in.   Begin with 20 minutes each day.

Where are you going to workout?
You can workout anywhere.  If it is nice weather,  GO OUTSIDE. 
Most people do better if they leave their house because it makes them commit to doing a workout.
 If you want to stay in your home to workout,  make sure you have a partner.

Now that you have made a plan,  it's time to GET MOVING!!!!
