OK who is exercising today?

[Sades 4]

I find that when I set the alarm to get up for a walk, if I don't get up straight away I convince myself not to do it. I went about 3 days without a walk doing that so I forced myself to get up on Thursday and have walked every day since. Just came back from an hour's walk.. I am going to drive the car the same route so I can see how far I am actually walking in that time. My suggestion is set the alarm and jump out of bed. Also have your walking gear ready to put on straight away. I usually go to the bathroom, brush my teeth and then go. I always feel great afterwards.

Well I am back from my workout. I did 25 min on the treadmill and 45 min on the arctrainer and some weights.

Question: I have been doing the arc trainer for an hour to an hour and a half on a very high resistance. Do you think my plateau could be that I am building muscle from the resistance instead of losing weight??? Should I decrease the resistance?

WINTER Exercise program for 2008

Y ou might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient. It may be too strenuous for some.

Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program!

SCROLL DOWN... </S PAN>

NOW SCROLL UP..

That's enough for the first day. Great job.

Have a chocolate. :wink:

Went this morning.....I have been going 5 - 6 times a week and rotate the workouts, from Water aerobics to biking to wlaking on the treadmill, will try the eliptical after the next 20 pounds is off, it still hurts my knees.

I love the workouts and I look forward to them, they are addicting in my opinion. I am thrilled to be active again though after so many years of a sedintary lifestyle.

I have more energy than ever.

Went for a 50 min walk this morning. Doing that every day except for the odd day off.
