[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Start by walking more, taking the stare more, cleaning the house more, carrying more things with your hands more, and just generally being more active in daily life.

Don't do 30 day workout schemes - they're not built for long term success.

Maybe try Couch to 5k if you're ok with trying to run. Otherwise just try different things. Pretend you're Goldilocks, and focus on trying all kinds of different things to see if there's something you like, and can perhaps do often. Try classes, equipment, and just make it a point to explore.

NP. I love the advice to try different things. Don't feel like you need to commit to any one program, at least not now - just commit to doing SOMEthing a couple times a week. When something clicks, it'll be easier to stick with it. [/quote]

Look for fitness events—in my city they had Fitness Week last August and you could try all sorts of workouts at different places around town for $5 each. Pilates, yoga, boxing, stretchlab, etc. I did something different every day for a week. [/quote]
