Dear Friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health...
3 John 1:2
Trying to stay healthy and fit is tough at any age, but the older you get, the harder it is. Face it - it's a whole lot easier to just plant yourself on the couch in front of the TV than to jump on the elliptical, skip rope, do P90x or go for a run outside. I have joined countless gyms and unjoined them three/six/nine months later because I never went. I have been an exercise fanatic and a physical slug. Finding an exercise regimen that I will stick with has been really tough.
Then I found Leslie Sansone's Start Walking! videos. I purchased the 3 Mile Walk at Walmart on a whim, popped it in the DVD player one morning and was hooked from the start. This particular video is an advanced walking program which is perfect for me. I can actually talk myself into lacing up my shoes and turning on the TV! The program is endorsed by the American Heart Association and only takes 45 heart-pumping minutes.
I purchased an elliptical machine as a "gift to me" Christmas present. I've made a "deal" with myself that if I want to watch an hour of television at night, I have to do so while using the elliptical. With the exercise video in the morning and the exercise machine most nights. I just might lose the extra 20 pounds I've been carting around.
To Leslie Sansone - for
being a GREAT walking coach.
Thank you!
