    This is such a great way to motivate someone to exercise. Seeing it in front of you makes it a little bit more difficult to skip out on a workout, if you have goals that you are trying to achieve.

    My exercise/health plan (a combo of short and long term goals): Starting in June…Walk, eat healthier, cut down on caffeine, get more sleep, start yoga, get myself to a point where I can do a 5k, do a 5k! Get back into the fitness level/shape I was in 3-5 years ago.

    This was a great challenge for me and I feel that I will stick with my exercise better by doing such a challenge.

    To clmein, I think the key to getting past stomach pains due to ab work outs is to break up your ab workout into chunks and bring in variation. I am not sure how many ab exercises you are doing, but you could break it up into a few smaller chunks and between those “ab chunks” you can do calming yoga moves that relax the stomach muscles or just any other exercise that does not focus on solely abs. This way your workout will be less tedious and you will cover more ground.

    I just did a set of, primarily, ab exercises. Nothing too strenuous, since it’s been a while since I’ve worked out and I know I have to work my way into it. However, I’m discouraged due to the fact that, like yourself, I felt queasy after finishing them. Already I’m dreading doing them again on Wednesday.I didn’t work out on a full stomach, so that can’t be it. Does anyone out there have a suggestion?

    Today after work I plan on doing 30 push ups and approximately 100 different crunches. I will walk to the bart station which is approximately 1mile. I tried a Kashi bar for the first time today and I really liked it. I am going to start having one at least 3x per week for lunch.

    I have found that if I eat before I work out I feel sick and want to stop before I am done. If I am hungry I will eat a bite of nuts or a small piece of fruit. That way I don’t feel weak. The first 20minutes after you workout is when your metabolism is at it’s highest so I try to eat a healthy meal after I work out if I can.

    This is my 2nd day of exercise. My goal is to do 20-30 minutes of weight training/core exercise and 30 minutes of cardio six days a week. I am trying to lose 20lbs by the end of March.

    Our company is doing a ‘Biggest Loser’ Wellness Challenge and since my wedding in September i have gained 16 lbs. Mainly due to decreasing my work out program and the lovely holiday eatings. Now that i’m motivating others to drop the weight i’m back in the swing of things myself. Stay positive!!

    I kept seeing the advertisements on the discovery website so I decided to check things out. I intend to hop on the gazelle everyday for 15 -45 minutes a day and start utilizing my gym membership more.
