How to Find an Exercise Plan That is Right for You

Every weight loss journey is unique, and there’s no set formula to achieve your ideal weight. You’ll likely have to make significant changes to your diet, lifestyle habits, and, of course, your fitness regimen.

Here at Nova Physician Wellness Center, we believe in the power of exercise, in combination with other weight loss techniques, to help our patients in Fairfax, Ashburn, and Vienna, Virginia, achieve their goals. 

Our expert weight loss specialists want to offer you some tips on how you can develop the right exercise plan to hit your weight loss goals.

What is an exercise plan?

The term “exercise plan” might seem self-explanatory, but there’s more to it than you might think. To create a healthy and effective exercise plan, you’ll first need to consider several factors, such as:

• Your current weight and health condition
• Any physical limitations
• Your weight loss goals
• Your current lifestyle (sedentary, active, or somewhere in-between)
• Why you want to lose weight

For example, if you’re overweight, don’t exercise much, and experience joint issues, your plan should be focused on low-impact exercises, such as water aerobics or stationary bike workouts. Walking is another great, low-impact exercise that can be scaled in difficulty (such as increasing your walking pace or incline) as you get more accustomed to your exercise plan.

Our expert providers take all these factors into consideration to create the best exercise plan for you. Along with recommending specific exercises tailored to your needs, our doctors also provide nutritional counseling to ensure that you’re eating the right foods to fuel your workouts and help shed the pounds.

How can I benefit from a personalized exercise plan?

While you can certainly create your own exercise plan, the best way to achieve results is to have a weight loss specialist design a personalized plan for you. Dr. Rohit Suri and Dr. Seema Chaudhary are both board-certified obesity medicine specialists who draw on years of experience to create the right weight loss program for you.

Beyond benefiting from their expertise, you’ll also reap the natural health benefits of exercising, including:

• Reduced risk of heart disease and other illnesses
• Better cognitive function and alertness
• Better quality of sleep
• Increased metabolism 
• Reduced inflammation
• Improved overall wellness in mind and body
• Stronger muscles, which can prevent injury
