Welcome to Day 2 of the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon! Today we get physical.
In future tasks we’ll tackle a heap of barriers to exercise – some organizational, some psychological, some completely bogus – but today we’ll just pick ourselves up and get going.
I suggest you read through the steps first, then take 10 minutes to move it, move it.
We only have 10 minutes, so you need to move fast, act quickly and stop over-thinking. Just throw yourself in. Ready?
Checking in. I liked waking up to motivation stickie notes all around my house. Did my 10m today!
This is a great way to motivate my self to move off the couch!!
10 minutes on the elliptical at home. So excited to post still sweating as I type. I just kept remembering my motivation post its.
An hour at the gym
Done. Great walk pushing a stroller and enjoying the sunshine.
A lovely walk in the spring sunshine here in the UK. Thanks for giving me a reason to remember how much I love doing that! Looking forward to the next challenge
Done. I walked to the grocery store. The good thing about that is when you buy your groceries, you still have to walk home so you can’t quit. Walked 2.5 miles in 36minutes.
Done. 30 min on treadmill. I wouldn’t have done it without this challenge.
Hi ,I’m disabled and have struggled to find exercise that I can do regularly.I did just 5 minutes of my graded exercise routine that physio gave me to try to improve my mobility.I haven’t been able to do it regularly as it makes my pain flare up after but I am going to make an effort and just start really slowly.
Check 30 mins brisk walking to some lively music!
Walked with the twins and the dog through the neighborhood for about a 30 minute walk was very lovely (did this a couple days ago,but forgot to post, would like to do this again today. Such a beautiful day out today, sunny but cool and crisp!
cheating a bit as I write this, but don’t want to get sucked into the computer again later ….. so I am just about to walk up the hill to sort out my campervan to see if I have to take it to the garage and then walk home again. Like others I do usually walk between 30 and 60 minutes a day, to and from work. But really it’s not enough. And the days I don’t work, I take that as an excuse not to move my body at all ….. not good.
My group responses are as follows: Start walking up and down the street the first week to get motivated. Then each week go a little farther until you reach your goal. If it’s inclement weather walk indoors [up and down steps or walk the hallway].
Use a piece of exercise equipment: We would use the exercise equipment at the Center as it is free.
Do a little circuit: Do an exercise to fit your age and diagnosis’. The majority of people will be able to walk daily.
Put on a high-energy playlist and dance your heart out: Dance to your 50’s/60’s records.
Designate a room in your home that is yours for one – two hours a day for ME time.
I’ve been going walking most days. It’s not always a long walk, usually between 10 and 40 mins. I’m finding it’s a great stress release.
Had to do it inside because of all the snow, but did my exercises for my knee replacement rehab (which I had been skimping on). I will be doing those daily now!
Done 🙂
This – the “just move” part – is the easy part for me. I go to the gym regularly, I don’t have a car so I walk EVERYWHERE (I also live downtown in a big city so that’s easy for me). I just got back from a cycling class 🙂 The part that’s hard is food! I Love food! I’m Italian, it’s in my blood or something 😉 I used to think if I just worked out MORE I could eat whatever I wanted, but it doesn’t work that way, now does it 😉
Got it done 🙂
I am proof of Newton’s first law of mothion: an object at rest tends to stay at rest until acted upon by an outside force. Michele, you are that force – both pushing and pulling me into action. Thank you.
Morning movement in.
