[quote=Anonymous]I'm 44 y.o., I was very athletic when I was young (HS and college). In my 20's I went to the gym regularly. In my early 30's I did the gym and then moved to yoga. But over the past several years, after a couple injuries and a much busier life (full-time work and kids), I find myself WAY too sedentary. I need to lose some weight and ultimately, I'd really just like to feel better, mentally and physically.

I've had 2 knee surgeries so running is not in the cards for me. I suspect that I can't afford a personal trainer.

If you've gone from sedentary to regularly working out, how did you motivate yourself to get off your butt?

For me it feels like a vicious cycle, I feel tired most of the time, my body is stiff from so much desk sitting. That tiredness makes me flake out on exercise.

Getting up in the morning in the dark just hasn't panned out. I think I'd do better in the evenings, but I am trying to figure out what I can do.

I'd really like to make this major change and I just can't seem to figure out how to get started. Any advice? Or share your story of how you made the change...

Thanks![/quote]
