Trying to step it up to an Hour  — 1 week ago

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!

Started Today (June 23rd)  — 1 year ago

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.

6:30....  — 1 year ago

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…

added wrist and hand weights to wii workout  — 1 year ago

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.

exercise was surprisingly fun today  — 1 year ago

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.

And i MUST do it

Loosing weight is easy  — 2 years ago

Worth doing!

ONLY IF YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE WITH YOU

I’ve always been on diets alone. Theyve never lasted longer than 3 days. Hahah. Sad huh? I’m 18, maybe not overweight, but i’d like to be more atheletic since I quit a dance team a year ago.

Out of nowhere, 4 of my friends decided to go on a diet too, and we started going to the gym 4-6 times a week, excercising for atleast an hour, then jumping in the pool for an even better full body work out (unless your just sitting there like an egg). So, it’s A LOT easier to go on a diet with other people.

Secondly, start eating healthy. Thats why i gained a few pounds in the first place. Instead of dancing, I was at a MacDonalds showing as much as i can down my throat. If you ABSOLUTELY CANNOT RESIST FAST FOOD, take one slice of bread off your burger or sandwhich to reduce carbs. Instead of eat 2-3 meals a day, eat 6! Hahahha.. im not joking. The first meal.. BREAKFAST should be a Normal sized meal, NOT SO MUCH that you get full!! Maybe 2 eggs and a couple of lean sausages. Then all the other meals.. which you eat ONLY WHEN YOU START GETTING HUNGRY.. should be SMALL SMALL PROTIONS of food, like a thing of yogurt, a small bag os pretzels, slices of watermelon.. dinner shouldnt be big as well because right when you hit your bed, your metabolism slows down A LOT.. and the food you ate for dinner goes straight to your thighs, or ass, or, or BELLY! Hah.. Soo..
Eat right.

Excercising is good only if you eat healthy too. Its always better to eat food after excercising because your metabolism is high up. I used to smoke a lot, but now that ive been excercising and eating healthier, it actually makes me feel A LOT better and A LOT more healthier than i used to be, so me feening for cigarettes is RARELY there. Alcohol is also a problem. As all of you should know, alcohol dries out your system.. if your planning on drinking.. drink A LOT of water also.. or else your mouth will feel like cardboard in the morning.. Dont drink often too..

Beer HAS A LOT OF CALORIES.. just a REMINDER.. try drinking hard liquor instead.. but if not, always get light.. (although it doesnt matter because alcohol is alcohol and its still bad for trying to be healthy)

Remember to take HOT showers after youve excercised because your muscles are still warmed up.. if you take cold showers (AND I KNOW IT FEELS REALLY GOOD AFTER A LONG EXCERCISE), then theyll become tense and it may cause spider veins and cramping/pain of the muscle.

Drink plenty of water.. 8 glasses of water a day is good to remove all the toxins.. (the shit that i used to have when i smoked and drank).. and it makes you feel reallllyy healthy.

Keep at this routine, and if youre really following through, then you could treat yourself to some french fries (NO LARGE). Dont treat yourself TOO often though.. maybe once a week.

Hope this has helped you.. Good luck.
