exercise for 30 minutes a day

Walked to the post office instead of driving…good idea but quickly learned that I’m not in shape and that was a huge chore…it was about a mile…need to keep up the 30 per day!

not doing too well on this due to new puppy in the house! But need to get back on track. Starting tomorrow….

other than losing weight. I need energy more than ever these days. To me this will likely be walking on the treadmill and/or exercising Cinnamon when she is older. As an Aussie/Doberman, she’s likely to require at least an hour a day.

Doctor says 30mins and an apple will improve health…no problem right!? Well no more excuses. My butt will have to get small with this approach. I will complete this goal when I have not missed a day for an entire year. My posts will include the number for the current day out of 365.

My minimum goal is still 30 minutes a day, but this week, I’ve actually been walking for an hour each day. On my Weight Watchers program, one hour of walking is worth 2 activity points, so I’m hoping to make this a regular habit…we’ll see!

I rode my exercise bike for 30 minutes. Hooray! My immediate goal is to do this every day this summer, as a way of getting back into the habit of regular exercise.

The alarm is set, the dumbells are sitting in the next room…my road to physical fitness starts tomorrow at 6:30 a.m…30 minutes a day…

I added 2 pounds of weights to each hand + write and now it feels like a workout. If you can burn 95 calories/15 minutes playing Wii tennis, I’d imagine that the weights probably boost the calories burned per 15 minutes to around 120 calories. I was also wearing a warmup pants and jacket, which probably adds maybe 5-10 calories (than if I just wore a t-shirt and shorts).

Overall, I played 1.5 hours today. I could only play two boxing matches today (got too winded) with the weights.

Hit the snooze button on my alarm clock one too many times this morning…so didn’t have time to exercise in the morning. So after work today, I played 30 minutes of Wii sports (tennis) and worked up a decent sweat (~180 calories/hour). Pretended it was a real game of tennis and swung the wii remote as hard as i could. I wonder how many calories I’m burning by playing Wii tennis 30 minutes a day. Can’t wait for boxing (reportedly, 250 calories/hour)!

I bought these ankle/wrist weights (2 lb) to help me burn extra calories. Afterwards, I’ll wear these on my ankles to work (under my trousers, of course) to burn even more calories.

Ok so i should have found my 30 about 30,000yrs ago.
I started this a week ago with a friend, 3times a week a one hr morning stroll with my daughter (pushing her up hills is HARD work)and now starting to swim with my daughter a couple of times a week, i have never felt so much better. to KEEP this going is the biggest hardest thing to do for me. And i MUST do it
