exercise

Ok guys I figured I'd ask another question for inquiring minds since I haven't seen anyone else ask. What type of exercise do you guys do and how often? I do Tae bo about 5 times a week and do pilates twice although I am starting Tae bo bootcamp and you exercise every other day. I have so many videos I haven't even attempted some of them!

I do winsor Pilates, and I run. I started the couch-to-5k program on www.coolrunning.com two months after starting this woe and went from running 1 min...to running 5k in less than 8 weeks! I now run 5k about 3 or 4 times a week. I really think exercise is key to this woe..and has so many benefits..too many to count..

Sadie I cannot agree with you more. You can't just change your eating habits and expect to get healthy not to mention I have muscles I never knew existed!!

I totally agree that EXERCISE IS THE KEY!! (am I a poet??) :yes

You can lose weight any number of ways, but keeping it off is virtually impossible without regular exercise!

I run 32 miles a week (8 miles x 4 days a week) plus I do free weights and the exercise ball at home 3 days a week.

Its totally made me what I am today!

Totally agree, totally agree. I exercise first thing in the morning 6 days a week. 3 or 4 days I run 4 - 5 miles, and the others days I do weights. I just started the weights so we'll see how that goes.

Doing it first thing gets my mind geared that this is my WOL; exercise is one part, eating (or not eating that Birthday Cake that was before me this afternoon) is the other part.

Carole, who didn't eat the cake, or the ice cream, or the chips, or the pizza, or the........at the birthday party today

I never really exercised before, so I had to do something that would make me WANT to do it.

I go to Curves which is 30 minutes cardio. I can do ANYTHING for 30 minutes. I go 5 days per week. I've done it for only a week now. The first time I went there, I thought I would die! Way too much for me! But after a week, I'm very happy I made the decision to go.

For those of you who dont know what Curves is about, the machines are in a circle and you go around twice in 1/2 hour. When I feel more comfortable with twice around, I will go to 3 times around, then 4.

I'm sure as soon as I feel the positive benefits of exercise, I'll incorporate some other things.

I joined ha 6 week exercise challenge to keep me motivated.
