EXERCISE ON KETO
EXERCISE ON KETO
As you start your diet and the pounds fall off, think about how to lose more weight or get healthier to feel even better. This is a great time to become more active through exercise.
Increase the amount you exercise relative to what you do now. If you don’t exercise at all, start taking short walks or slow jogs, or a combination of both, for 15 minutes every other day. If you already go to the gym or lift weights, add an extra exercise or start doing cardio. It doesn’t matter what level you’re at, try to do a little more than you’re doing now. That’s all it takes to become healthier. Exercise is incremental, and every increment is a boost to weight loss and feeling better.
If you have the time, try taking a class or doing an activity that involves moving, like a step class or dancing, or start playing a sport like basketball. It doesn’t have to be competitive, nor do you need to be good or have any previous experience. Such activities are an easy way to get on your feet, and you can learn a new skill in the process.
Staying fit through regular physical activity has been proven to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as reduce risk for various heart diseases and type 2 diabetes. In combination with the keto diet, your health will improve dramatically, and so will your energy levels.
Any exercise, even if it’s 15 minutes a week, is better than no exercise. Don’t worry about how much you do in the beginning.
Just start doing something and you’ll build from there naturally.
EASY EXERCISE SEQUENCES
Here are a few easy exercise sequences if you’re just starting out. Once every other day is enough in the beginning. If possible, try doing these with a friend or significant other for support and accountability. If you can’t do some of them, that’s absolutely all right! Simply focus on the ones you can do.
CARDIOVASCULAR ACTIVITY
Any aerobic activity, like walking, running, or bicycling, for 15 to 30 minutes, twice a week or more.
STRENGTH CONDITIONING
One set of exercises (for at least 10 repetitions, or it’s too easy) targeting each of the major muscle groups: chest, shoulders, back, abs, and legs.
• Push-ups or assisted push-ups
• Pull-ups or chin-ups
• Crunches
• Squats
