I have just felt compelled to comment since Becca started this exercise thread/s and think it is great to be accountable here and also interesting to read what others do to get in their exercise for the day. I also wanted to tell those of you who aren't doing a lot due to joint issues, pain, etc that any extra physical exertion is exercise. Don't feel bad when others are running marathons or doing hours at the gym. If you move more today than you did yesterday, you are improving your health. It really is baby steps. I never moved at all 3 years ago when I began this long journey to weight loss. It started with a walk around the block, then each day it got a little longer. Sometimes I really have to push myself but I find that when I am out walking I push myself a little further by rationalizing that I am already sweating and out there, why not do another block. I also mentioned a pedometer as a motivator. I am pretty competitive so I wanted to do better each day, each week etc. So take those extra steps, park a little farther away at the store, use the bathroom upstairs, move your arms and legs while on the couch, get an exercise ball and just sit and use those core muscles. It all counts and will lead to more. Kim
