EXERCISE ANYONE ?

Getting the healthy lifestyle going is probably one of the most difficult things we all try to accomplish- we are almost into the third month of the year and what happened to our resolutions? I have completed my fourth workout this week and have the motivation to forge on-

Here are some helpful tools :

Firstly, schedule the exercise as an appointment. We all make our appointments so this shoudn't be any different-morning, over lunch, on the way home, before bed- whatever works for you- be consistent and accountable to your schedule.

Secondly, don't conquer the world and plan a three hour workout- it won't happen- 15-30 minutes three to four times a week is more productive than an hour once a week- there are many workouts to choose from; Find something you enjoy and go from there- I will comment on some exercise routines from bands, to high intensity training, to yoga with my next blog; I don't care what you do, but do something and move !! Start easy and for a short duration- I was thrilled I got out of bed at 6 AM and went downstairs- that is a victory in of itself-

Next, journal your exercise and eating- No one has to see this but you- keep a daily log of what you do for activity- the type of activity, duration, and your preception of effort you expended; it will be interesting to track this over time and see your improvement. Do the same thing with eating- each meal and snack- what you ate; how much (small, medium, large, x-tra), how about adding whether you were hungry or not ( that is for the emotional eaters)- It is amazing what feedback you can gain from just doing this. Again, no one has to see this- I hesitated but forced myself to write down a food cheat I ate- it's ok to cheat but when you write down what you eat, it's amazing what we put into our bodies.

I have a website I started to help me with my training program ...the more we can connect and engage with others I think it helps keep the motivation ( at least that is what I am trying to do)..
