One thing that you will learn during your wellness adventure is that different things work for different people. And so it is with exercise programs.  You may have to use some trial and error when choosing an exercise routine for weight loss or weight management.  Don’t get discouraged; remember, it’s a step at a time, a daily decision to be healthier than yesterday. 

Choosing an exercise program should not be done lightly.  Research the different exercise programs available.  Ask yourself a series of questions:

  • Can I realistically participate in the activities included in this program?  If you have bad knees, chances are you won’t last in impact aerobics classes.  Be honest with yourself and determine your physical limitations.
  • Should I use a commercial workout plan, or can I develop my own?  There are benefits to both.  Commercial workout programs are usually developed by fitness experts who understand the need for both cardio and weight training exercises for optimum health.  However, with a little research and determination on your part, you can develop a regimen specified to your individual needs.
  • Can I afford the program?  If you don’t have the money to invest in weight machines or gym memberships, be creative!  Check for local recreational and exercise opportunities that are inexpensive or even free. 
  • Have I consulted with my physician?  Always discuss with your physician prior to beginning any weight loss and/or exercise plan.
  • What is my support system?  If at all possible, have a friend or family member be an accountability partner.  Rely on that person for encouragement and be honest about your exercise program activities with them.

We have compiled a list of popular exercise programs for your review.  Information, reviews and, whenever possible, testimonials are included for each program.  Congratulations on taking your next step towards obtaining wellness!
