Mission 6: Choose You-Friendly Exercise
Remember how I said in Mission 2: Take A Reality Check that you wouldn’t have to do any exercise you didn’t want to?
Well, it’s true.
Although you will have to move in order to lose weight, you can do it in any way you want to.
Of course you already know that exercise will help you lose weight. It’s that pesky math thing – calories in versus calories out. And exercise loads calories into the OUT tray.
But remember – it’s not what you know, it’s what you do that brings success or failure.
This mission is the first of several that will make it a lot easier for you to do the things that will help to make you slim.
And a really smart way to make sure you do your exercise is to choose your exercise carefully in the first place.
We’re going to do that by identifying your exercise profile. We’ll then use it to choose an exercise that’s, well, you-friendly! And I’ll reveal a secret about exercising that will give you comfort if you’re screwing up your face and folding your arms as you read this. Unclench!

I made a contact with an old friend and agreed to walk with her twice a week. I like to ride my exercise bike in front of my TV show on Tuesday nights. I also like to hoola hoop, so I’m going to get it out of the closet and put it near the TV. I also have a dance mat and will get that out. That sounds fun.
Adding some energetic tunes to my ipod will help my motivation while I’m on the cross-trainer.
At the moment I can only do gentle walking after a c-section 6 weeks ago but at least it’s something! I like team sports, and low impact exercise such as swimming & weights so am hoping to get into those soon.
I actually love walking and running on the treadmill and outdoors when the weather allows. I have also recently gotten into Zumba, so I will do classes once or twice a week.
I have just entered the http://www.walkingwithattitude.com challenge to walk 10,000 steps a day. This site has virtual round the world challenges for steps/km/miles and you log your achievement each day, which is recorded on a fun chart/map of the world. Very motivating.
I will be walking and/or Zumba on the wii, I also enjoy dancing with my son we have contest using the Just Dance for wii.
I have a workout room with TV, bluray, treadmill, and very nice workout station. The flooring is rubber mats to do my dvd programs. I have not used it for a while because of all the Christmas stuff I was storing in there (that is one excuse). I cleaned it out yesterday, organized the holiday stuff and put it away.
Just found an app called myfitnesspal that lets me track what I eat and my exercise. You pick your own goal and it gives you a target calorie amount for the day that seems based on a sedentary lifestyle, because it adds calories as you do cardio exercise. (no added calories for strength training tho 🙁 ) the apps gives you little encouraging messages, too. It’s helpful to see the interplay of
I will do the Leslie Sansone Walk at least 5x a week.
Walking/running everyday except Sundays will be my thing. My hikes that I go on with a wonderful group of women will be a bonus.
Have started walking/jogging would like to complete some 5K races this summer and actually jog the entire race
Walking is also my favorite. I have been increasing the time for a while now. Since I will be off work as of next Friday, I will have more time to walk, hopefully increasing to 3 1/2 hours a day:) I also love skipping rope, so I will find it in my daughter’s closet and start Monday:)
Dancing to high energy songs (3 would be good). Stretching to start and finish my day. Walking 3 of my sons to the bus morning and afternoon (that will give me a 2km walk each day).
I will get back to the treadmill, leslie sansone’s walking video & the wii’s biggest loser workout game.
Have started walking today 🙂
This program is excellent. Easy steps, greatly motivated.
I’m a little behind officially accomplishing this badge, because I actually got back into exercise last weekend for the first time in 1.5 years, and I have done it every day since! I love love love the TurboJam series of videos, which are through BeachBody. Really great workout doing some cardio-kickboxing type work, and they have a person doing an almost-no-impact version at all times. I will get through 30-40 minutes, look at the clock, and think “holy cow, where did the time go?”.
Have a recumbent bike, bought a laptop tray that allows me to use my time on the bike doing other things…like reading this.
