Types of exercise

In continuation of this "Make yourself feel better" series, today I have for you some exercises that will not only make you feel better, after you've done them, but also help you stay fit (advisory: might not work for everyone. As I said last week I'm not a professional in this area.)

The first thing to remember is that the routine of exercises has to be scheduled because otherwise you might fail on exercising regularly. Choose how often you want to exercise. For example, if you want to do it 3 days a week maybe try to alternate the days. It would be something like this:
-Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays: exercise
-Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays: no exercise

The next thing is how much time: If you want to workout 3 days in a week, do about 45min to 1 hour each day. If you exercise more times a week, do less time: if you workout 5 times a week do about 30min each day. This way you won't over-exercise because if you did you'd feel really tired at the end of the week.

Finally the types of exercise you can do. Keep in mind, alternating exercises is good but if you can't do something don't push yourself, take your time. If you train hard one day you might be able to do all the exercises. 
-walking, jogging or running (start with walking and slowly upgrade the speed)
-sign up into a gym. ask for a plan designed for you (if you don't have the money it's okay, there's other ways)
-go for a jog, every 10 minutes run faster for 1 to 2 minutes OR jog and alternate with sprints (I read it increases the metabolism)
-choose an up beat song or multiple songs and dance; it's fun and you don't have to leave the house

Tomorrow I will post a list of foods you can and can't eat when trying to lose weight or just if you want to eat healthier. (Once again I'm not a professinal in this area; all of this is based on my personal experiences)

Thanks for reading! I will talk to you tomorrow :) B-bye!!
