“From now on, you can start with a realistic plan. If you plan too much, then this could even be a problem for you. Start with a target per week, you can gradually get used to,” said Freeland.

Furthermore, Freeland suggested to increase the frequency of exercise for up to 10 percent in each week.

“If you’re used to jogging or walking within 10 minutes, then increase to 1 minute more than usual. Do not increase the 10 minutes directly. The goal is only to a gradual improvement in fitness and weight loss,” advises Freeland.

To see the progress of the activities of the body if you do, then you can weigh periodically once every week. Alternatively, a sense of whether the clothes and you wear pants feel bigger than usual.

“Exercise diary, can monitor and motivate in the list of per-week schedule, and can record your progress,” said Freeland.

Still according to Freeland, the most important thing, you do it consistently. And look what happened to your body, what you feel after a routine exercise. That will be the main reason why you still need exercise as well as eating and sleeping.

“If not, you will experience boredom. So then stop exercising, or not routinely done. This will make the body condition of confusion. Thus causing muscle pain and injury, giving more pressure on the heart and lungs and increase the production of fat cells, which causes weight gain, “said Freeland.
