Not sure on how to exercise?

There are countless exercises and variations of exercises that you can attempt, but having a set schedule that you follow most of the time will help you in your weight loss journey. Depending on your daily routine, you may have more or less time to dedicate to exercising within your life, and that is completely okay! Exercising can range from simple movements all the way up to the most complex movements performed by professional athletes. Working out 3-5 times a week can help you ensure that you can maintain a steady decline in your weight, and can even help you maintain the lost weight after you've already reached your weight goal.

Excercise can be something as simple as walking for 10 minutes a day. The CDC reccomends that adults get atleast 30 minutes of exercise per day or 150 minutes a week as a minimum requirement for health. You can implement small changes in your life as well. You can park the car further from where you go to walk more, you could dance to your favorite music, or even try bodyweight exercises. Exercise never has to feel like it will take a lot of time and never fit into your schedule. Now if you want to build your muscles, there are some useful tips available for you.

When selecting your exercises for building muscle, you want to make sure you try your best to focus on exercising your entire body atleast twice a week. If that isn't possible for you due to health reasons, that is fine, we all have our own paces. Being able to target each muscle group of your body atleast twice a week can help you to build muscle and maintain a proportionate look and provide proper resting time between workout sessions. For example, if you workout your back and biceps on one day, you can workout your chest and triceps the next day, while allowing your muscle groups from the previous days of the week to heal. Everyone has their own schedules and pace, so it is important to figure out what works for you. Talking with your doctor may help give you a better understanding as to how you want to maintain a workout schedule that best suits you.
