As with all exercise routes consult first with your GP before starting any new diet and fitness plan. Buying home gym equipment need not be costly. Forget the huge running machines and weight machines buy the basics and make a routine to suit what you have got.
Start by buying a set of weights in 3 different weights, these usually come in a set. Buy as mat to lay and do toning exercises oh and a step for step aerobics and toning for the bench press ups.
Walking is a great form of exercise for the beginners its free and is natural and easy to do. Start by walking for ten minutes each day for four days after that increase the time by 5- 10 minutes for a further two weeks.
A popular technique is to power walk for 30 seconds then walk for 2 minutes and so on this rises the heart beat and allows it to slow down again in time for the next blurt of energy. When you have mastered this and you are beginning to feel fitter it can be time to jog and then run.
