During my last post about why exercise dvds are a cheap way to experiment with exercise, I mentioned that there are many types of workout dvds out there that can match up with whatever fitness fetish you might have. This post is a discussion of the advantage of an exercise program with a pre-designed eating plan and workout sessions.

This post is a discussion of why using exercise dvds are a cheap way to work out. As some of my regular readers know, I workout exclusively with exercise dvds at home. I generally do not count my bowling nights, walks at breaks, and walks around the neighborhood as my daily exercise quota. These activities always involve other people. I consider these activities to be my socializing time since my focus is talking to the people I am with.

If I watch what I eat and use some weight loss tools, I can almost believe that everything is “normal.” This post is a discussion of some weight loss tools I have around the house that I am using to get rid of my post-holiday weight gain.

Welcome to Small Steps to Health where we do not take orders from a cookie!
Before my car accident a few years ago, the question of “quality of life” bears no meaning. All that matters was that I could fit into my skinny jeans. My body did not protest when I put it into motion after hours of inactivity without a proper warm-up. It could be that I am getting older.

The move to my new house is almost complete. We are now living at our new house and clearing out the miscellaneous stuff out of the duplex we were living in. Since we brought a foreclosed home, it requires a lot of elbow grease in order to make it habitable again.
Though my weight has not yet reflect my lack of exercise in the last three weeks, all the takeout is finally taking a toll on my energy level this week. Initially we were spending more money to get healthier restaurant food, but as the days turn into weeks, we find ourselves turning to fast food, both for the convenience and the cheap prices. I feel tired throughout the day from the lack of exercise and the junk food we have been eating.

The battery of my heart rate monitor died on me again. I have an old Acumen that I brought for myself as a birthday gift 3 years ago. I changed the battery twice already. I think it is sign to upgrade to something that have a little more features, something fancy (I can just imagine my husband rolling his eyes at my attempt to justify spending yet more money on workout toys).

I have a confession to make. Since last August I have not seen any change in my body even though I workout consistently. Generally I average about 4-5 workouts a week with a mix of cardio, pilates, and strength training.
Sounds like I should be slimming down and building muscle right? Or that maybe I am cheating and eating more than I should? If I was trying to lose weight, I would say that I am stuck at the dreaded weight loss plateau stage. The culprit is related to intensity, pain, and a little laziness on my part. Let me explain.
This post is a discussion about exercise intensity, weight loss plateaus, and how I am a wimp.

Most people in my situation would be perfectly happy to skip a few workout sessions. But I am starting to feel fidgety.
Why I feel the urge to work out while I am sick?
All of us need a mantra or a motivational phase to get us to stick to a regular workout schedule. Mine is that “if I do not workout after 3 days, my back will start to ache.” That is what keeps me exercising.

Spending time in a garden is believed to have many emotional healing effects. It can reduce your stress and lower your blood pressure. Of course, I do not get to enjoy these benefits until I take my allergy medication the night before, but it is well worth it to be around a small piece of [...]
