From 100 MORE Days of Weight Loss, Day 21
Any time you move your body, it’s still better than not moving it.
But to actually lose weight, you need activity that’s more rhythmic and sustained, such as walking, biking or swimming.
Here are my answers to the three questions at the end of the lesson.
1. Create a weekly exercise plan to include the type of activity, length of time and which days you will exercise.
My weekly plan:
Walk on treadmill for a minimum of 20 minutes. Aim for between 4 to 5 times per week.
Add strength training and yoga 2 to 3 days per week.
2. Plan ways to get past the barriers, such as fatigue, schedule or stress, that would prevent you from exercising.
Fatigue – push myself to do it anyway, and trust that I will feel better afterward.
Don’t feel like it – remind myself about all the reasons Why I want to lose weight
3. Record your exercise activity every day for at least a week. Note how you feel as a result of more activity.
This past week, I only did two times on the treadmill, but I also walked the dogs several times which takes about 20 minutes.
I always feel better afterward.
