Did you know I went decades without exercising? I actually hated even hearing the word. It brought visions of things like sweaty gyms where people would stare at me, things that I was too fat to do & I had NO IDEA where to get started.
Then I took a walk that became a bicycle ride and it changed my world.
I was no longer intimidated by the thought of exercise. Changing the way I thought about it for so long, I quit saying "I hate to exercise" to appreciated the sheer joy of being alive to be ABLE to exercise.
This is the fountain of youth people. If you want to turn back the hands of time, start moving. Very bad things happen to our bodies when we just sit still We were all born to move!

When I wake up... Get your day off to the best start by doing some form of exercise right after you have your glass of water in the morning. Whether it is taking a walk, doing some wall push-ups, following a fitness tape or some other form of movement, get yourself into HIGH FITNESS gear by moving in the morning! If you say you don't have TIME in the morning, set your alarm clock for one hour earlier! You will be amazed at the extra energy you will have just after one week of this new healthy habit!
During the day... We all have those moments when we are trapped at the computer, sitting at a desk or just stuck on the sofa. This is your CURE for that! If you are listening to music, pick a song and get up and play the AIR DRUMS to it. Hit the drums high and low and move. The object is to work a sweat up! The bad side to this is if you are in an office. It will draw a few odd stares if your co-workers don't know what you are doing. The good side is that you just might start a trend and the entire office could have fun & get fit at exercise breaks during the day! Suggest this to your boss, who knows, you might even get a pat on the back for it!
My favorite thing to do on the days I'm sitting a lot is to have a set of five pound weights beside my desk. I do things with my arms and even carry them to the bathroom with me where I have the advantage of watching in the mirror. It is motivating to see my arms toning more and wobbling less.
Exercise Ideas From Priscilla Walk for water! Make sure you are getting up and down a lot to get your water. Use a smaller glass if needed, stretch as you are getting up and down and stand if you are able to for working. I'm at a counter as I write this, flexing up and down on my toes. It also saves my backside and back from getting sore after a long day.
Stretch it out! Make sure that all during the day you take five minutes here and there to do a stretch routine. It will keep you from getting stiff and make your muscles hungry for more!
Set up straight! Think posture when you are sitting, standing or even walking. Think about what your body is doing and make the adjustments to get it right.
Suck it in! Did you know that by trying to have your belly button reach your spine you are using muscles, toning and improving your posture? All good reasons to tuck that tummy in.
Flex and unflex! Clenching various muscles in our body and holding them for a few seconds or even a minute or two, then releasing is a very stealth way to get to fitness. After all, if we are clenching our buttocks while sitting, we are actually lifting the weight of our body.
Hit the gym! After decades of feeling I was too fat to ever get fit, things changed! I decided that I didn't have to get in shape BEFORE I went to a gym. Choose one that is close enough to walk to or bicycle to if possible. Go for a visit and see what you think. Trust me, if I can walk into a gym, YOU can too!
Write it down! Keep a fitness journal of what you are doing, how many, how long and read back over it every few weeks. You will see that your level of strength is increasing, as does your energy.
Take the NEXT step. Watch below and visit often for lots of exercise variety.
