There is a key number to remember when building an exercise program - 12%. While some people will use 10% or even 15% because it's a little easier to calculate, a 12% increase from week to week is ideal for an exercise program.

Starting with low levels of intensity, duration, weight, etc. is important to preventing injuries but also allows you to grow from week to week. This growth not only changes your physical body but also helps reinforce the exercise behavior mentally through the successful increases. Continue a 12% increase week over week until you get to the level where you are happy with the results and transition to maintenance workouts. These are workouts that maintain your leve of fitness and health. This is the place you want to be eventually.
