Before starting any exercise regime, it is highly recommended that you speak with your doctor first to ensure your best health.
Track your results
Measure your success by tracking your results. This can help you figure out what is and isn't working so you can make the necessary adjustments to reach your health and wellness goals. You may want to track your success by weighing yourself, taking pictures, measuring your body, keeping a journal or meeting with a health care provider regularly.
Keep in mind that you can achieve several non-scale victories. These include reducing a clothing size, not getting out of breath when climbing stairs or being able to sit more comfortably in a chair.
