Hello friend first of all great job for deciding to take the leap and do something nice for yourself. Exercise is amazing. It makes you feel better and sleep better because it creates endorphins.

My recommendation is to get a notebook and start writing down your progress.

Start with taking pictures of yourself from the front side and back

Max get a tape measure and measure your chest waist and hips

My other piece of advice is to get a buddy system. Anybody friends, family neighbor that could help you be accountable

Perhaps this person might be able to Jack you up during the week when you have no motivation or even help work out with you.

The easiest way to start working out, is by putting on a pair of comfortable shoes and taking a walk around the block. Anything is better than sitting in front of the TV

Once you’ve mastered that increase the time each week, eventually try to get at least two or 3 miles in a day. If you have a dog, that’s a great way to get exercise in. If not, perhaps, ask a friend or neighbor. If you don’t have anyone to ask I recommend putting on a set of earbuds and your favorite music And get yourself motivated and go for a brisk walk.

Depending on what state you live on if you’re not able to go outside in the winter due to snow, then yes your stationary bike or any other exercise equipment would be great. Try to time yourself perhaps use the timer on your mobile device.

In between working out and doing cardio, I recommend doing some form of weights. If you don’t want any and all they sell these at most department stores including Walmart. Start With something light, you can always work into heavier weights later.

My recommendation is to start off by working out every other day. Eventually you wanna go into at least minimal four days a week.

Use the notebook daily by tracking your progress of what you were eating, including fat, calories and carbs

Also, document how many minutes he worked out a day. Remember it’s always better to do something for us is nothing

Surround yourself with healthy treats, such as apples, sliced up and celery if you don’t like them plain, you can add a touch of raw organic peanut butter.

Sugar is the killer. I know because I was addicted to it for years. The best way to curb. Your appetite is to replace any refined sugars with real food such as fresh fruit or if you need something sweet perhaps in your coffee would recommend Monk fruit drops.

In case you’re busy around, the golden can’t get a meal and I recommend picking up a protein powder that you can mix with water and have a protein shake at least once a day

Try to get to sleep at the same time every night. Sleep is the magic nectar that resets your body. Try to get at least seven hours if not more.

This is the beginning of something. Great my friend. You’re going to do wonderful. Stick with it. Nothing in life is easy. If it was so easy to get in shape, the whole planet would be in shape. Lol I know you can do it. Best wishes and Namaste.

PS I noticed on Netflix there are lots of new exercise shows from weightlifting and cardio to YOGA! so if you subscribe to Netflix, you can tune in and do this in your living room for free. Check it out and good luck.
