HOW MUCH TIME?
Don’t rush into exercise. One hour per day five days a week is not a baby step. That’s a giant step. But quality 10-15 minutes per day would be very good baby steps. With a sensible approach to exercise you can make wonderful progress. Then as you gain experience and ability do more per day, within three to four weeks you will start to be in pretty good shape.
Think in 10-15 minute time frames at the initial planning stage, gradually building up your exercise program.
AN AMAZING REVELATION!
The only way to know your state of health is to keep a log of everything you eat, drink, when you sleep and when you exercise.
It is necessary to do this chore because you probably need an amazing revelation to boost your determination to change certain habits. That log will be your mirror! “The task of self-examination is difficult, but the time log is a useful tool to accomplish this objective,” says Dr Alec Mackenzie in his ground breaking time management book, The Time Trap (1972).
I agree with him. Keep a complete time log for seven days. Write down everything you do and everything you put into your body.
If you have toast, write down whether or not you also have butter and a slice of ham. Everything you do and consume for seven days will identify areas that need modification when you assess it later.
Also record your exercise and rest.
This will reveal to you a pretty good pattern as to your lifestyle – because we are all creatures of habit
