DYA Fitness Plan: Learn The Basics

Exercise is an anti-ageing miracle! The latest research proves that working out makes you look and feel younger. Scientists have also found that regular exercisers have significantly longer telomeres (a section of DNA that acts as a biological marker for ageing) than their sedentary peers do. Our plan, designed by Prevention fitness director Michele Stanten, makes it easy to take advantage of these benefits: you can zip through the routine in as few as 15 minutes a day and still achieve significant results in the first month.


THE PLAN BASICS


1. Do Cardio Consistently

Highly active people live longer. Aerobic exercise, such as walking, biking, swimming and jogging, protects your heart by lowering blood pressure, reducing ‘bad’ cholesterol and keeping arteries flexible to improve blood flow. With this plan, pick the cardio routine you love best—or mix it up to keep your workouts fresh and interesting.


2. Strength-Train Regularly

Lifting weights is one of the best ways to keep bones and muscles in shape. Not a fan of strength-training? Fear not—in the first month of our plan, you do the three easy moves only twice a week.

3. Practise Yoga Daily

Yoga is one of the best ways to alleviate anxiety and restore balance to your life. A daily practice—even the five-minute practice you’ll be doing this month—is beneficial because you’re fighting stress a little at a time. Try it first thing in the morning to increase energy, release tension and start the day off right.
