[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I"m getting more exercise, but when I look at my tracker I'm not seeing an increase. I used to do a ton of walking as part of everyday life, now I have plan to move my body and it feels harder. I'm also stuck at home with a super skinny kid who needs to eat a lot of high calorie foods.[/quote]

+100. I said the same thing recently regarding the built-in exercise that no longer exists. Walking to and from the train for work and throughout the halls of my huge agency, added 2.5 miles to my day automatically. Now, if I don't make a concerted effort to walk, I could easily end up with under 1 mile per day.

I've added in 40 minutes on the Stairmaster daily to help make up for the deficit. Luckily, I haven't gained any weight, but my body composition has certainly changed. I had started to feel doughy.[/quote]

Same here.  I used to get movement in walking to and from the Metro, walking around the building, walking to and from lunch and the grocery store, etc.  Now, if I don't make an intentional specific effort to move, I don't move.  And I have to watch a kid, so I can't just leave and take a walk or whatever whenever I want.  I've started putting in headphones and having a personal dance party, or doing squats while brushing my teeth, just to get in movement.  I guess I never realized how much movement was built into my day before.  [/quote]
