If you exercise while watching your favourite shows in the evening its not such a chore.
Good luck Cinds
I've had my running machine all set up and ready to go for a couple of monthe noe but still not got on it - I agree re watching a soap episode though , the time flies. Must get myself motivated - my grand sons love it though.
I took a break from the bike after I hurt my leg, and it gathered dust for a long while too Cinds.
Summer's dead right that it doesn't have to be crazy gym sessions lol. Just a bit here and there, it all adds up. The hardest part is definitely starting. Once you start, your fitness levels go up so its not so much work. I'm the least exercisey person imaginable , but after a while you may even get to enjoy it and look forward to it [must be the endorphins or summat].
If your running machine has a display - km and calories burned thats a good incentive. Every 3500 calories burned equals 1lb in weight [provided your diet is stable and balanced]. I keep a log of good and bad days re:calories burned as a goal.
