Day 13: Get Organized For Exercise | 30-Day Weight Loss-athon

Posted on by Michele Connolly

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.

Check in!

And you’re done!

    I have lots of options for working out. I prefer to get my workouts done in the morning so the day doesn’t get so busy that I put it aside. I also workout during my lunch hour for 30 minutes. I am set with workout equipment!

    Adding some new music to my iPod, and need to get back into the habit of packing my bag for the Y the night before so I can get back to Pilates…will start back to the Y on Monday, and walk a few other days.

    I’ve got my new running shoes. The treadmill is all set for the days when it’s not nice enough to walk/jog outside. I set up a time to visit a gym this coming week. I need to update my playlist.

    I have already joined a gym, have been a member for over a year but hardly use it – with a 4 month old, full time career & an hourly commute each way it’s hard to find the time but I have done it before and with organisation can do it again.
