Having a plan based on your fitness levels is crucial for success. Having someone to answer all your questions and schedule your workouts is perhaps what you need.
Walking
Who said you can’t build habits and have fun at the same time? Going for a walk 30 minutes a day can be a great way to become more active. Take this opportunity to connect with nature or friends. Call a friend to join you for your walk, or this can be an opportunity to catch up with a family member. Great company and conversation can make a 30 minute walk feel like 5 minutes!
