The Best Way Of Getting In Shape Before Summer

By Molly Holder


Bathing suit time of year is coming quickly and this has folks taking on new eating habits (shunning those of the winter season) and promising themselves that they will get in shape before the weather prevents them from hiding their bodies under heavy layers of clothing. So many individuals throw themselves straight into training constantly because they are desperate to lose weight and get into shape before anybody gets to see their body. Unfortunately if you try to get into shape too quickly, you could really end up hurting yourself. Doctors everywhere agree that it won't help you to merely jump into a daily workout routine. So what should you do to get fit in advance of bathing suit season getting here?

The primary thing you need to do is visit your doctor. Ask your doctor to give you a thorough bodily assessment. This will let you discover your best starting point for working out and getting in shape. Your doctor will help you determine your goal weight and body mass index objectives as well as helping you determine if there are any health conditions that you need to treat carefully while you work to get in shape. Your health care provider will help you set up an excellent diet plan so that you can get your eating style under control as well.

Start out slowly. Do not attempt to run too far too rapidly too early. The Couch to 5K Program is a fantastic way to help yourself get in shape. This is a program that gradually steps up your running program until you are ready to take on a 5K marathon. Obviously, however, you should do a lot more than simply running to get in shape. You also need to get started doing some weight training and aerobic workouts as well. If you don't have time for all of these, try to find a swimming version of Couch to 5K-this way you'll work your whole body and build all of your systems safely and over time.



Find a support group. If you can find men and women to undertake the work with you you will have a much greater possibility of losing weight and getting in shape when you have a support group even if you find your weight gain embarrassing. You can work together to eat right and exercise-these are usually people who can go to weight watchers meetings with you, take exercise classes with you, etc. For those who are uncomfortable doing this with people they know "in real life" they can find emotional support online. There are lots of internet support groups set up for people who want to lose weight.

The basic truth is that it is likely to take time to reduce weight and get into shape. The earlier you start to change things for the better, the better off you will be. The quicker you begin your efforts, the easier it will be to work on building your body slowly and over time. Don't forget this is a situation when you have to work slowly and steadily--your body will thank you for taking the time to do things effectively.
