How do I start an effective excercise routine for weight loss and firming?

I know I need to work out and exercise has NEVER been a big part of my routine. Like most everyone else, my schedule is pretty busy and by the time I get home from work I’m exhausted. I’ve made millions of excuses for why I don’t work out and need some input on how to incorporate exercise into my daily routine. What has worked for you? What keeps you working out? Money is also an issue so hiring a personal trainer is out but all other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here’s an idea for you, when you are at home and on the internet go to youtube and look up some workouts on there, 8 minute abs, yoga booty, whatever sounds interesting. Then try out that workout. I have been doing this on my lunch break at home to get some extra workouts in, it’s fun because you can do stuff you like over and over or if you get bored just switch to something else. The most important thing to do though is to set aside time everyday to do something physical, maybe you’ll just start with walking, whatever it is for you keep trying things and eventually you’ll find something that excites you to go workout, for me it’s boxing and yoga.

Make the time, you are worth it!!

it is hard to start a routine but that is the key work routine. If you are exhausted after work get up earlier and go for a 30 min walk. Instead of sitting down and eating lunch go walking with some co-workers. The key is to get in the activity. It won’t all come at once but just doing something is better than nothing. The main thing that helps me is that my computer chair is a balance ball. Take a few minutes to do some situps and pushups. Once you start getting the extra energy you will fell more up to getting out and doing something

Married Mother of 3
I am a mother of three and my last pregnancy was twins and gained 75lbs, I lost 30 at birth but could not get the rest off. I needed to lose another 60 just to be in healthy range. I have now lost forty in about 6 months time and I have been using a supplement called Orovo. I did some research and it also helps with acne and wrinkles, I have adult acne but wrinkles are not yet an issue. I have a myspace site of my family if you would like to email me privately and see the before and after pictures. It is not a bad price and I can keep up with the twins! It does not give you that jittery feeling most diet supplements do and since my husband is currently stationed out of the country I need all the extra energy I can get. Do some research you will see, it is an amazing product, all of my friends are using it, and seeing great results. Good luck and email me for any other information.

12 Tips for Atkins Diet

1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.

2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.

3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.

4. Don’t weigh yourself more than once a week

5. Take starting measurements as well as weight – sometimes you’ll lose inches before pounds

6. Avoid any type of “low carb” sweetener for the first two weeks

7. Don’t compare your loss to someone else’s – this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)

8. Stalls are common around the third week so don’t panic

9. If you follow your plan to the T and don’t lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food

10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison

11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts – make sure your doctor knows that you’re doing low carb and when you started

12. Don’t blame the diet if you don’t read your plan book — blame the diet if you don’t read the labels — Don’t blame the diet if you don’t follow the diet
