Leslie Sansone's 3 mile walk Workout

I tried this workout yesterday and it was quite a workout.  I exercised for over 17 minutes yesterday and it has been good not just for the body but also for the mind.  I wrote about the benefits of using this video on my Facebook page yesterday.  Exercise is quite beneficial.  So is doing yard work. Yard work has helped me to cope with having obsessive thoughts about women supposedly doing men wrong.  Whatever the thoughts may be exercise whether it is using this video or doing yard work would be of great benefit.

Walk Indoors Interval Workout


This was a rather simple workout.  It wasn't complex or anything like that.  I used this video for around 15 minutes or so.  It was before 7 PM when the workout was over.  I like walking in place and walking in intervals.  It is quite good for people at my fitness level with my health concerns.  I am doing better and though it has only been a week since I started, I feel great already.  Mentally I am more refreshed and physically I feel better as well.

Ellen Barrett's 10 Minute Power Walk


I don't wish to make a habit out of reviewing videos, just utilize them as a part of my workout routine.  I have learned that this is a good video for beginners yet it can be dull.  It wasn't the best workout video I have played but it was an okay workout.  I have learned that yesterday I didn't wish to focus on the length of the video but on the quality of the workout.  It is a quality workout and it was very easy to follow, but it was dull at some points.

My plan for today 2/25/15

Today I plan to walk for 10-15 minutes using a walking workout dvd.  They have been helpful but I have to continue to push myself and remind myself of my goal.  My goal is to lose 100 lbs.  So far, I have lost 10, which means I have 90 to go.  I didn't do much exercise yesterday and I wrote about what I saw.  My shadow was that of someone who was out of shape and wanted to lose weight.  I have further been inspired by seeing pics of weight loss transformations only to realize that I tend to compare myself to other people.  I would like to admire myself for the hard work and dedication it took to lose weight and further, to keep it off.  It would require more than 10-15 minutes of exercise per day I'm sure.  My plan is to lose a total of 100 lbs within a year.  That is how long I plan to lose this weight, so I was right in saying that this current goal is only temporary.

Changing my goals

I did some stretches for my stomach, which is good.  There was even a plan put into place.  One extra minute per five minute stretch per week until I get to exercise for about 30 minutes per day.  I saw my shadow this morning I didn't like what I saw.  It brought to mind that even though my goal of at least 10-15 minutes per day is temporary, I realize that I need to push myself harder.  The goal that I was given this morning is realistic enough and I admit that I do procrastinate.  I hope that I don't make too many excuses if any at all.  I walk for 10-15 minutes per day but I "tap out" within five minutes.  Maybe I should incorporate stretches or some other exercises into my routine.  That would be helpful.  I admit I am out of shape and I look and "feel" out of shape so starting off slow is a good thing but how often should I change my goals?

My break yesterday and my weight loss today

Yesterday I did not exercise.  However, I should have.  I lost 0.6 lbs to be exact so it isn't my weight. It is what I ate later on.  My weight is dropping off slowly which I like so I feel pretty good about that.  I will finish exercising today.  So far, my goal is to walk for at least 10-15 minutes per day.  I realize that procrastination will get me nowhere so what needs to be done is to start off a plan for now.  So for now, my exercise regimen will be small so yes, 10-15 minutes is quite small and a slow start.

12-Minute Fat Burning Power Walk Home Workout


This video courtesy of Jessica Smith TV (jessicasmithtv) is quite a workout.  I tried this out yesterday around 6 pm or so.  I realize that after using this video, that my temporary exercise plan will be to walk 10-15 minutes per day at least.  It is only temporary.  I have been advised to not give up. Hopefully I will make this a habit.  I will weigh myself tomorrow so by then I will get a gauge of how much I have lost if any at all.  Today I am taking a break from my week of exercise, which will begin tomorrow.  My goal for now is to workout for at least 10-15 minutes per day for 5 days a week with breaks on Sundays and Tuesdays.
