Start by adding a daily walk. Before committing to the gym commit to the routine. While walking try habit stacking. Binge on a podcast or book. Use the walk as a boost of mental energy. I have lost 65 lbs and kept it off by starting with the walk. Once that routine is built add in 1-2 days of strength training

Good morning! I offer virtual personal training. Let me know if you are interested

I got a walking pad and I walk on it while I watch tv. The same shows I’d normally watch sitting down now distract me enough to get through the cardio session 🩷

I was able to stay consistent after joining an accountability group. People who understood what was going through and supported me. I’d love to add you to mine and send you some details.

First, it needs to become a natural part of your routine. I go straight from work to the gym. I don’t even think about it anymore. It’s just what I do 5 days a week. My actual routine once I get to the gym has changed drastically over the last 5 years. That’s normal. As you learn, you adjust and do better.

I’m not sure if anyone has said this already but how I started when I was not feeling the gym was finding activities I enjoyed. It’s all about getting active so it doesn’t necessarily have to look like a “traditional workout. I would bike ride, roller skate, dance videos, swim etc. I just found things I liked to do that didn’t feel like exercise. May try walking and to add some spice jump rope before after or in intervals. Hope this helps 😉

I don’t use a gym. I started by going to the park and I started walking for 20 minutes, then increased by 10 minutes, gradually increased my speed, and aim for 2 miles a day, roughly 38 minutes. I did that for 2-1/2 months. I just added in a dvd workout by Jillian Michaels that I have been doing on Facebook live every night this month at 6pm central time. Hand weights and floor mat recommended but not required.
