How to get in shape
It made me
Gratified
 "Losing weight and getting in shape are much harder when you're middle-aged than when you're young."
How I did it: The only thing that worked for me was to have a reason to do it, beyond just wanting to look more fit. I have been planning a trek to Nepal. Since I am not strong or athletic, I knew I HAD to do something to get in shape, or I'd be in trouble. Lessons & tips: I am the anti-jock. I hate exercise. My best advice is to find a friend with a similar goal and schedule exercise time with them. I hike with one friend and go to a rock-climbing gym with another. The more I fill my time with interesting exercise, the less time I have to spend doing incredibly dull stuff like the treadmill. I also try to vary my exercise as much as I can: swimming, walking, dancing, kayaking.

How I did it: I tried to get as many free gym memberships as I could and join contests and challenges that would force me to go work out. I learned what I like doing the most and what I don't like doing. It is hard to set aside time to go to the gym, so if you have a jumprope or a weight machine at home, that is the best because you can do it when you're lounging around. Just put a good bra, tennis shoes and do it.But, now that I am a dancer, I am alwa… Read how I did it…

Get in shape
2 days ago
Yeah I want more muscles please. I hate being small and weak. I’m only 99lbs.. and sometimes 101 lbs. Its nice to be skinny and all, but sometimes I feel fat. Its just an image distortion problem on my part, so I thought that if I am able to work out, eat more protien, and get more muscles I’d be happier.

A start

One of my electives is a weight training class at school, I’d figure it’d be better than cooking at least. I’m getting stronger in there, but I don’t feel it. I’ve also been trying to run more after school, usually around 5 when it cools down. I need to improve on my diet and sleep habits though.
