Getting started

Exercise every day.

It is easier to maintain an every day schedule of exercise, and you will get greater health benefits, compared with just 3 times per week.

Getting started

Stay focused on health.

The objective should be to get healthy, not to get thin. Exercise and good nutrition will bring both better health, and weight loss.

The basics

Change your diet slowly.

Go at your own pace, taking small steps that add up to bigger, more healthful changes over time.

Eat your chocolate in moderation.

An ounce of dark chocolate (70% or more cocoa) per day can improve your health without piling on the fat and calories.

Make your chocolate dark.

Dark chocolate (at least 50% cocoa) has flavonoids, and can improve heart health, reduce bad cholesterol and lower blood pressure.

Thai Chi tips

Start with Yang style.

Its movements are gentle, graceful, effective for health promotion, and easier to learn.
