but I'm wondering how much people exercise.

** When I first started IE, it was with Thin Within, and TW teaches that you

don't have to exercise. So, I didn't for the first little bit. And, I dropped

pounds like crazy, just from changing my eating habits! After I'd released about

12 lbs, I added back in my walking and, instead of losing 2lbs per week, I would

lose 4.

I've not been exercising lately, but when I do, I love to use Sansone's

" Walk Away the Pounds " DVDs! It's an in-home fitness walking program, and you

can do 1-5 miles right from the comfort of your living room! Doesn't matter how

little space you have. )

I never get bored with them because 1) & friends are funny and

entertaining, and 2) I can switch, daily, how many miles I do... therefore, it's

never the " same " routine.

I like to do 1-2 miles every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I can't yet do the

3-mile walk.

And, I'd really like to add in some crunches and squats on the opposite days

(Tuesdays & Thursdays) because I need to tighten my muscles. They're all loose

and flabby from having kids, and then being majorly sedentary over the last 8

years.

I used to exerise for weight loss. Now I do it (when I *do* get around to it!

LOL) because of how it makes me feel. I know that it gives me a boost of energy

-- I always seem to get more done on the days that I fit in my workout -- and I

sleep better, and I feel good for having done something good for my health. )

The 1-mile walk takes only 15 minutes (and, if you know the FLYLady, you'll know

she says that " anyone can do anything for just 15 minutes!!! " --

The 2-Mile walk is only 30-minutes.

The 3-mile walk is 45 minutes.

Easy to do! And, no excuses! No bad weather can stop me! ;o)
