If you are wondering how this momma can do so much right now?
Well, geuss what? That is not how I started at first.
Lets be honest with ourselves...really! We didn't come out of the womb walking and talking a specific language. We had to learn gradually..you know baby steps.
Learn from what I've done. You can apply this to any exercise program.
Here are my baby steps... I was told to start exercising 4- 5 times a week. Well I knew right then there I would burn out if I tried that, I have experience in this area. So I started hiking 2 times a week.
Something you have to realize the trail I go on; is one most difficult trails in the city I live in, and I love a challenge. I've finished the trail maybe 2times in my lifetime thus far. It's 1.5miles long
1st goal: about .40mile mark (2nd Bench) it took 60minutes to get there and 40 minutes to go back down.
2nd goal: is after 2months I started going 3 times a week. I decided I was ready for it because I was too comfortable.
My tip: Is once I get comfortable it's time to start a new goal. If I get comfortable, then I plateau if I don't change it up.
3rd goal: .60 Mile marker and then back down totaling 114 minutes for 2 months
4th goal: .75 mile marker 120 minutes for 2 months
My newest goal is: about 1 mile in 126 minutes up and back down again, my shortest time thus far. 3times a week. And strength training 2 times a week Biggest Loser Powersculpt DVD.
There are more baby steps that yet to be seen. After about 7months, I must say a lot of progress, even with all the bumps in the road.
