Sorry, there’s just no way around it, if you want to get in shape you have to eat well and get a lot of regular exercise. A pill isn’t going to do it all for you. Of course, you want to optimize the results you get from your exercise routine and these exercise tips will help you do just that.

Before you start an exercise program make sure that you talk to your doctor. This is particularly important if you’re really overweight and haven’t spent much time working out or if you have some underlying health problems. Ask your doctor what you need to do to modify an exercise routine so you can work around those issues.
