Day 13: Get Organized For Exercise | 30-Day Weight Loss-athon
It’s time for Day 13 of the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon.
All tasks in the 30-Day Weight Loss-athon are adapted from the 52 Weight Loss Missions program.
Read the steps first, then take 10 minutes to complete them.
Move fast, act quickly and stop over-thinking. Ready?
What You Need:
- Pen
- Paper
- Phone – in case you need to make calls
- Internet – in case you need to do research
- iTunes – if you want a workout playlist.
Step 1
On Day 5 we selected an exercise. Over the next few days we’ll remove obstacles – practical, physical and psychological – that stand between you and your activity.
We’ll make the path of least resistance one that leads directly to your bike, walking route or skipping rope.
Today we’ll start by getting everything organized.
So first, let’s get all our exercise ducks in a row.
For the exercise you’ve chosen, or any exercise you’d like to add to your routine, do you need to:
- Join a gym?
- Pay fees at a dance studio?
- Enroll in a course of swim sessions?
- Register for boot camp?
- Engage a personal trainer?
- Hire, buy, pick up and/or install exercise equipment (eg treadmill or cycle)?
- Choose a path for your run/walk/jog/cycle?
- Create a motivating playlist?
- Tee up an exercise buddy?
Whatever actions you need to take to set yourself up for exercise, make a list of them now.
Step 2
Next, systematically work your way through your list and do each item.
Push past any resistance and do the tasks you may be tempted to put off – you’ll be very glad you did.
Check them off as you go.

The main obstacule to me is changing my clothes. When I return home after work it’s always hard to do that. So I must work on it!
Done!
I´m trying to be more active in my life! This is a good challenge for me.
PS I can´t see this post in my facebook today, do you know why?
All my muscles hurt… personal training after a break of 6 weeks… I´m prepared to exercise, made a video-playlist with workouts, made a music-playlist for my walks… and I learned a lot of exercises I can do with no equipment.
I’m not sure if I checked in on this day… so I am now.
This is the inspiration that I needed to work out today. My ankle is slowly healing, I can tell that it is, but I need to push past it as an excuse to not work out.
