Putting Your Plan Together

It is now time to take what you have learned from the previous chapters and put your action plan together. In this chapter I give you sample plans that will help you create your own exercise and diet plans. When you are creating your plan, keep in mind that you need to choose activities and foods that you enjoy and that allow you to be successful in your action plan. Remember to chart your progress, as discussed in chapter 3. Also in this chapter you will learn how to measure or estimate your physical fitness level, which you can use to keep track of your success. Your overall fitness level directly correlates to improved overall health.
