Motivated Women #22

Now that you’ve listened about goals and goal making the next step is putting it together.  What type of exercise are you focusing on?  Diet? Did you plan in Rest days?  I know,  SO many things to think about.  This is why it’s called a LIFE STYLE CHANGE!  These behaviors need to become second nature to you. 

EXERCISE: Cardio (or aerobic) and Core (includes flexibility, strength and balance) need to be in your plan.

Cardio goal is 3-4 times a week for 20-30 minutes

Core goal is 2-3 times a week

TARGET HEART RATE: goal in exercising is to keep your target heart rate  at 60-80%. I tend to think of 70% as an average workout with 60% a light one and 80% as pushing it.  http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-Your-Target-Heart-Rate
