steps used to design a training program for an overweight person
And as an additional thought now that time has passed. I just answered a question about getting started on a fitness program. The advice that I gave would be useful here and for anyone starting out.
Schedule activity and work on keeping to the schedule. Plan walks and other movement based activities into a schedule. Becoming good at keeping to a regular exercise schedule is important to success. It doesn’t have to be a full on workout. Especially in the beginning. And the amount of time should be kept manageable and short. Increase the time and the frequency (number of scheduled activity sessions) slowly.
Once you are pretty solid on keeping the activity sessions in your day to day schedule. Begin to add more difficult movment. Seeing a fitness instructor to work on this will also go a long way to doing it right.
