Here are some basic "tips" when working out.  I say "tips" like this because I'm a firm believer that one has to decided on his/her own what they should and shouldn't do based on good information they find.  For to you enjoy working out, you need to do your own thing, for lack of a better term.

1. You'll hear this a lot: Wear loose, comfortable clothing, unless in some type of tights.

2. Shoes are important, so make sure they are comfortable for you.

3. Don't push yourself if you feel anything hurting.  By hurting, I'm talking the "ouch" kind of pain, not the exercise type of pain.  Believe me, you'll know the difference.

4. Exercise at least 3 times a week, but no more than 6. Give yourself some rest to recover.

5. Rome wasn't built in a day.  Give yourself some time to become fit if you aren't already.  Just keep at it, results will come.

6. When in doubt about anything, ask you doctor!  This is serious stuff!  Don't take chances.

7. HAVE FUN!  Working out and getting fit should be fun. Oh, and Enjoy the Journey!  You'll look back at your progress and start smiling!

Follow these 7 tips and you'll be well on your way to getting what you want from your exercise program!
