Healthy Change
-Healthy
change begins with a positive mindset. You have to
realize that losing weight and becoming fit is a marathon, not
a sprint. Results will come!
•The first step is revamping your eating plan. It takes balanced meals at
proper times.
•The second step is exercising. Healthy eating will help to lose weight,
but exercising speeds up the process.
•The third step is taking the exercising to the next level by incorporating
muscle toning to lose those “flabby” areas to see the real results.
•And last is a long term commitment with yourself. Remembering that
this is not a diet, a person goes on a diet and quits. This is a lifestyle
change that should last forever and if committed, it will help a person
look great and add years to their life!

1. You Are What You Eat…
-Healthy eating takes knowing what kind, how much, and when to eat
food. Skipping meals results in low metabolism rates and will make a
person crave food. Balanced meals at the right times is the way to go.
•The easiest way to find out what you should eat is by going to
http://mypyramid.gov/.
•The website is provided by the United States Agriculture Department and
is free to the public.
•The website customizes specific food pyramid charts based on
information you enter about yourself. This shows what categories of food
are needed and how much your daily calorie intake should be.
•The website also provides a MyPyramid Menu Planner, MyPyramid
Tracker, and Tips & Resources.
2. Exercise 101…
After a meal makeover takes place you should begin to see some
changes. Your body will begin to feel cleansed and more energized.
This is when exercising comes into action! Exercise increases the
need for energy in your body, which increases metabolism. In order
to lose weight a person must burn calories, and a high metabolism
helps to burn more calories.
•When beginning to exercise it is important to know your
limitations!
-First, you will need a doctor checkup to make sure you are in good
health.
-Second, a workout plan is needed.
-Workout plans can be as simple as starting to walk thirty minutes
a day for a month, then increasing to 40-50 minutes or even a light
jog. Workout plans can also be extensive to include interval
training and circuit training.

MyPyramid website again. The MyPyramid tracker allows you to see
how many calories different exercises burn.
•Some examples of exercise are simply walking at a brisk pace for 3060 minutes, jogging for 30-60 minutes, riding a bike at a faster pace for
30-60 minutes, joining a fitness class, or interval training (for ex. walk
for five minutes, jog for two minutes, walk for a minute, run at a fast
pace for thirty seconds; repeat several times).

beach body. This happens with toning the body!
•Weight programs help with toning the body. And no, weight
programs do not have to make a person bulky.
•The key is to start out with small weight, then progress.
•Weight training takes knowledge and the best advice is to
research weight training programs written by strength trainers, or
have a trainer write a program for yourself.
