Do you feel like you have gained some “winter weight”? Kick Start your summer by committing yourself to getting physically fit. Each year the American Council on Exercise (ACE), design a program to help others begin exercising.

If you are designing your own program, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Start slowly. Yes, right now you are motivated to go out and run 5 miles, but if you want to avoid injuries start slowly.
- Remember to add in all of the five components of physical fitness; namely, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
- Don't underestimate the importance of warming up and cooling down. It is the simple things that make all the difference.
- Set goals for yourself! Have something that you are working towards.
- Add variety to your workouts! Not only will it help you stay motivated, but it will be more FUN!
