We have created two workout plans to get you moving towards a healthier and more powerful you! You can complete these workout plans from your home, while traveling, or in a gym/workout facility setting. Adults with chronic conditions should talk with their health-care provider to determine whether their conditions limit their ability to do regular physical activity. Make sure that you have clearance from your doctor before starting any exercise program.

Begin by planning for 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week. One way to accomplish this is to exercise 3 days per week for 30 minutes per day. We suggest taking on the philosophy “start low and go slow.” Start with low intensity cardio for 30 minutes per day and then slowly increase the intensity and duration as time progresses. This plan begins with light cardio in order to build your endurance, then adds weights into your workouts that will increase lean muscle mass.

In order to make working out a consistent part of your life, you should work out on the same days of the week and around the same time to form a habit. A great schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, so that you have a day off in between workouts to allow your body to recover. Once the habit is formed, it is much easier to stick with your new routine and enjoy all the benefits of consistent exercise!
