If you are finding it difficult to get started living a more active life, maybe you just need a simple, no cost method.  Over on Get Fit Slowly there was a post yesterday about the Lifetime Fitness Ladder.  I found it very interesting for a couple of reasons.

  1. It is simple and straight forward- There are no “magic” pills to take, no secrets to learn.  Just start out and follow a simple plan.  Progress is almost guaranteed.
  2. It promotes a sensible approach to fitness and activity-  Because it is so straight forward with no special equipment needed, almost anyone, at any level of fitness, can start the program.

For me personally, this is a great way for me to get back into doing some “core” strength building.  I have been so focused on aerobic conditioning, cycling in particular, that I tend to ignore exercises that work other parts of the body.  Once I get my shoulder back in shape I will start doing the ladder program to build some strength outside of cycling strength.  I can do this 1st thing in the morning when I get up.  It is easy to do and won’t take a lot of time.

So, if you are looking for an easy way to jumpstart your activity, try the Lifetime Fitness Ladder program.
