Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hi Kathy.. I would hit the excercise in the morning before you go to work.. It will make your work day seem so very effortless... I know I used to swim a mile everyday at 6 am and by the time work started at 8, I wondered if I was working at all.. My output at work was double that of my co-workers that had just arrived and were still half asleep.. My boss did did not even mind that I sometimes arrived with my hair slightly wet.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi Kathy, I work out in the evening on work days and afternoons on days off. But morning, afternoon, evening--whatever works for you. I agree with Chuck, you simply have to set your mind to do it. Some days I really don't wanna run, and sometimes on those same days, after the first mile, I'm sailing along. As someone already said, start out slow. Short term, there's a sort of endorphin rush at the end of a good workout. Long term, you'll just feel better. Bob > > > > > Mind over matter. LOL.

Long term, you'll just feel better. sometimes i wonder if i'm the only person in the world who doesn't get an endorphin rush from working out, and never have. 1 to 1.5 hour of speedwalking didn't do it, 50 minutes of intense kickboxing aerobics didn't do it, an hour of rollerblading didn't do it (though i loved the speed i could get sometimes), a few sessions with various personal trainers didn't do it, nor did my old habit of jogging at least 3 miles (and sometimes 10) every day except Sunday - back when i was a cross country runner in high school and could do those sorts of things. i remember the only reason i ran back then was total teenage vanity: it made my legs look terrific, and then i found out what it was doing to my hips and so i stopped. i'm not sure if there's a trick to it or what, and if there is, can you share it? my body's lack of positive reaction to standard exercise makes it really tough to get into anything more intense than walking, dancing, or gentle yoga - when you feel like total hell at the end of it, instead of flushed and happy and powerful, it makes it progressively harder to start it the next day. i really envy you guys. ~risa (who is trying to get her back to a point where she can go dancing regularly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Well just get yourself out there and " make " yourself do it if you have to. Set small goals for yourself. For example a 10 minute walk. You will find when you are done that it was not as bad as you thought and you might even come to enjoy it.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thanks Bob, I actually did 10 minutes this morning and actually have not felt tired as of yet today. The day is not over yet though. Will see how I feel this evening. KATHY (I do plan to do more walking this evening) Bob wrote: Hi Kathy, I work out in the evening on work days and afternoons on days off.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Kathy, Good for you. Chuck's right about walking fast enough to break a sweat (and increase breathing rate, but you should not be gasping for breath), but I've seen too many people get sore from trying to do too much and then stop exercising altogether. So go at your own pace. Try setting a goal of at least 20 minutes and work your way up to it. Two 10 minute walks a day is a good place to start. If you feel fine after a couple of days of that, add more time right away. Otherwise, keep at that for a week and then try adding 5 or 10 minutes more at a stretch and then walk faster the next week, etc. Repeat until you're ready for a marathon. <grin> Bob > You are not likely to feel much different until you've been doing a brisk walk for at least 20 minutes every day for a few weeks. Exercise is like the SBD -- it doesn't happen overnight. > > By the way, you want that 20 minutes to be at a brisk enough pace so that you break a sweat during that period. > > Chuck > > > > Re: Hungry and tired > > > Just wanted everyone to know I did it! Walked this " mornin " . Only for 10 minutes, will do it again after work. Don't ask me if I am energized, don't want to be a lieing to you all. ;-) KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 kathy, That was a good start. If you stick to this little routine and do it every other day, you will learn to enjoy it You'll also definitely notice results from it and will want to increase it to 15 mins. You go girl!

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thanks Bob, sounds like sound advice. I am going to give it my best try! Now for the marathon, I think I will be......on second thought I am not even going to go there. :-D KATHY Bob wrote: Kathy, Good for you.
