Run

The dreaded words no one likes to hear, "run" or "cardio".

When someone wants to lose weight and asks me for tips or they complain about their weight, I have one piece of advice, running.  The truth is, running is the single best exercise you can do.  It doesn't have to be fast at all.

For example, I run at 5.0 mph on the treadmill for about twenty minutes and incorporate walking at 4.0 mph.  Throw on your headphones or turn on a good hour television show, it helps keep your mind off the long.dreaded.run.

Workout for about 45 minutes to an hour.  That does not mean one hour from the time you step into the gym to the time you walk out.  It means the number on the treadmill says 60 minutes or the reps and sets consist of a solid workout.

If you're a new gym rat then just walk for an hour!  Working out daily helps your mind stay focused on eating and living healthy.

It just takes that little push and I hope this can do just that for you :)
