Today I am determined to restart my exercise program. Have been lazy long enough… I realized today that it has really been almost 12 months since I was regularly active and I think I realized why I have been so lazy. For the first time in 12 years, I had no fitness goal whatsoever. No race or event to train for. So I am going to make it a priority this week to start moving again and to go online and find something (anything!) that I can sign up for that will give me a reason to get moving again….
I just started the Trim Down Club and really have to kick myself to get an exercise/fitness routine in place. So much time goes by just sitting in front of the computer or TV. It’s snowing outside right now so that’s already a great excuse for not going for a walk. I’ve got to buy some exercise tools to use in the house for this winter.
I just started today and hope that I am motivated by the program and all that are trying also. I love tennis but have bad knees so must be extremely careful when playing tennis or racket ball. Both burn a lot of calories. I do plan to start back to the gym and lift free weights as this will help burn fat. I will be 60 this year and have a sedentary job so need to keep busy when not at work too. Going to the gym for one hour or so a day won’t shed the pounds anymore because my metabolism has slowed way down. On nice days I can walk when I get home in the evenings and plan to do just that. Any ideas and encouragement would be greatly appreciated. 🙂
How are you my name is Norm I live in Aus I am 62 just started today we should keep in touch and encourage each other with exercise recipes etc.I have high cholesterol and Blood pressure on meds for both would like to eventually lower dosage or throw them away although stroke is prevalent in my family so I am the only member of my family still alive.Good Luck
i admit to being a lazy person, it’s so easy isn’t it, just being alive in a frantic world and all that takes to survive the stress..a real effort! I have gradually gained a lot of weight and need to slim down for health reasons. I think just getting the ball rolling is a good start, I have made this “the first day for change day”and am hoping from the commitment of having written down what I want to change, it is a sort of new shopping list..we have to start somewhere, so let’s just all be the change. I find it easier to focus on the dark negative side, but we have options I feel to make the commitment. Got a reasonable amount of motivation but have felt like I was fat island until today with joining this forum and making the commitment..good luck folks, have a happy Monday x
