YOUR WELLNESS E-TIP Reaching Your Fitness Goals: One Step at a Time It’s normal to feel excited when you start a new fitness program or activity. You may feel in a hurry to reach your fitness goals. But in all the excitement, it’s easy to do too much too soon. With slow and steady changes, you can reach your fitness goals in a safe, healthy, and natural way. As you begin a new workout program or activity, remember to follow these 4 rules: 1. Talk to your doctor before starting any new activity if you haven’t been active in a while or you have a health condition. He or she can make sure the new activity is safe for you. 2. Start out slowly. 3. If you make changes, do so in small steps. 4. Add to your routine very gradually from one week to the next (for example, increase your walking time by 10% next week.) These rules don’t mean that you give less than your best effort. They simply mean that you listen to your body and treat your road to fitness as a long-term journey. Everyone Needs a Coach™.
