I know what its like to be in excellent physical shape but I've slacked off since my marriage problem the last few years. I didn't gain weight since I eat healthy, but I'm not toned or in good cardio condition - very disappointed in myself. After hearing about the recently published study of bus drivers verses the workers who are ticket agents - they found the ticket agents who were on their feet, lived longer compared to the bus drivers who sat all day. This scared me, since I'm all into living as long as I can.

I want to start but its like starting all over again and I struggle with motivation. Its the battle of my mind and getting to the point of 'doing it' and I agree this is what prevents most of us from doing it. I also agree with Melissa - don't wait for the motivation, just dive and do something and it doesn't have be a rigid routine. For today, I decided to do little things - like every commercial break I get up. Instead of walking to another room, I jog there. Instead of standing while preparing food, I'll do calf exercises...standing on your toes...up and down. Next time you have to go to another room - jog lightly. I went to heat up my tea in the microwave for 45 seconds, so I did 45 jumping jacks. Little things all day probably adds up to 30min by the end of the day. Hopefully this will ease me into a regular routine and back in good health again. Sitting too much causes a multitude of health problems. I'm thinking of getting one of those medicine balls to sit on when I'm at the computer.
