I Am 36 I Am A Petite Woman And I Am Not Over Weight. But I Need To Exercise More. What Should I Start With ?

It’s been a long time since I have been in a gym. I used to have a fast matabolism and now it starting to slow down. So I need to start exercising and I need to work more on my stomach and legs where shall I start. Please I need advice..Summer is coming and I want to still be able to wear my bikinis.

    Try a combination of cardio classes and sessions and when you are feeling great include some weight sessions. Maybe get a personal trainer to assess your fitness and ask them for a program so you can get started.
    Classes which you will enjoy:
    Spin/Cycle
    Boxing
    Running – join a club
    Circuit – good class to get used to weights
    Swimming
    Pilates
    Make sure you go as hard as possible and try to stay there for about 1.5hours 6 days a week to see results really quickly. Try to maintain a healthy eating plan.
    Goodluck!

    do at least 15 minutes of cardio a day.. 30 minutes would be better. it will boost your metabolism.

    I used to be a major athlete, but since I had a kid everything slowed down. Join a step class. It will kick your butt, and you can always just do what you are able to do. You’ll be motivated to keep trying because all those stupid cupcakes in leotards are doing it AND you’re paying for it. That’s what I did and I actually get through the routine now. I haven’t lost any weight (I didn’t need to) but my butt is not nearly as long as it used to be. I may actually get into a swimsuit in front of my hubby this summer!

    1. Start by doing a very simply exercise that you will enjoy – for example: Walking around the block with your IPOD, playing an easy sport, or perhaps merely 15 minutes of stretch. That will slowly, easily condition your body for more activity…most of all, you will enjoy doing it.
    2. Increase the effort of the same task within the next two or three weeks (walk around the block three times rather than once, play two sports, stretch for 30 minutes, etc.)
    3. Increase the activity itself in another week – Walk around the block 3 times at a faster pace, play two sports twice a week, stretch for 45 minutes).
    As your momentum picks up….so will your appetite for more.
    Good luck

    20 jumping jacks (work up to 40)
    40 squat kicks alternating legs each time so 20 for each side))
    40 knee lifts
    30 crunches (work up to 60)
    40 leg (side lifts) 20 on each side
    25 leg lifts to the rear (25 on each side)
    end with 20 or more jumping jacks
    This should take 15 minutes at the most. This will at least get you started and its easy.
