Walking Is A Natural Weight Loss Exercise For Lazy Me

I am unmotivated and lazy when it comes to exercises just to lose weight, or maintain it. I think it’s because I have tried different approaches to workouts but when I travel, somehow my routine always seems to be broken. By the time I return home I have lost interest.

What I find works for me no matter where I find myself is: walking. I prefer to be outside wherever possible. It is all about finding what works for you. Certain types of food dieting did not work for me, so I customized a plan to work for me. Exercise habits should be something you can adapt as a part of your lifestyle, otherwise, you start slacking off.

There are different types of walking, you can walk slow, in a stroll, or at a medium pace. What my personal trainer revealed to me, walking fast, kick starts the heart rate and burns the calories. I don’t believe in jumping right in to anything. I like to work my way into my plan of action.

I used a pedometer to measure my steps. Buy yourself one that shows calories burned, steps, etc., as much information as possible. I started keeping track of my walks around the office. When you are working your weight loss plan, it is not a bad idea to keep track of what you are doing.

A friend of mine started working out in her neighborhood by using mail boxes as her goal. If you live in a gated community, or an apartment, you might try walking around your complex. Set a goal to do so many circles, and each day add another. If you don’t like circling, then set a time but make sure you are able to mark your journey in some way.

I have a park nearby and tried to get up, get in my car and drive to the park. It didn’t last long. If I got up one day and it was raining no walk. You’re probably thinking, what happens if I get in a routine of walking and it is raining? Raincoats and umbrellas are very useful tools. If you don’t want to go that route, put on your pedometer and set a path in your house or apartment and get to walking.

Jump Start Your Weight Loss Plan with Stretching Exercises???

A few weeks ago I was interviewing Dr. Vera Stevens on my radio show at www.blogtalkradio.com/changing lives. The topic of the day was stretching,
and how to stretch without injuring the body.

I did my research, preparing to bring Dr. Vera on the show,
so that I could at least sound like I knew a little something.

We purposely decided not to post pictures, or videos of her but to allow her to
talk us through the exercises, to visualize them.

By the second week of our discussion those visions had moved from my head
Into my desiring to act on the information.

Has that ever happened to you? I decided to do a stretching plan for 30 days, about 10 minutes a day.

I want you to know that I blew one day already this week, didn’t
want to make the effort.

Today is a better day. And this is the day I decided to let you in on what I’m doing.

The other day I helped carry some chairs at church and it felt good. I’m also up to 15 minutes for my stretching exercises. I can tell my endurance level is up.
