First step

On Tuesday, I completed the orientation for the gym I have access to. I’m going to give the exercise thing a shot tonight—starting is always the hardest part! After that, I need to make myself a schedule and stick to it.
Alternate Jogging and Sprinting
5 months ago
When I finally do get myself to the gym to workout I’m going to give this a try. It’s supposed to burn three times the fat and only take half the time. Apparently alternating jogging and sprinting burns more fat than just jogging steadily at the same pace for 40 minutes.
Warm up for 4 minutes at a level 3.
Sprint for 30 seconds at a level 7.
Recover for 90 seconds at a level 4.

It’s been a month since I posted this goal to start exercising and I haven’t worked toward it at all. Granted I have had a lot of other things going on in my life and I don’t have a lot of money, but walking is free and so is the fitness room at my apartment complex.
My caseworker at the hospital said there are so many studies showing how exercise improves mood and strongly encouraged me to get moving. He told me to start slowly at first and just take a five minute walk every day for a week. And each week increase my walk time by five minute increments until I had built up to walking 35-40 minutes at least five days a week. The hard part is getting myself started. Once I get going I’m okay and I always feel better afterward.
So I’m going to try to commit to taking a five minute walk tomorrow even if it is 30 degrees outside. And maybe try these ab exercises that I found on the Never Say Diet and Self websites:
