    I have been using a tracking website since October. I am able to log my daily food/calorie intake, as well as all fitness activities. In all honesty, I only use it during the week and am pretty lax about it on weekends.
    In general, I am able to make it to the gym anywhere between 3 – 5 times a week for about an hour each time. I’m looking forward to a group exercise & nutrition class I signed up for on this coming saturday! Should be fun!!

    Exercise seems to come last for me. No more, 30 minutes, every day, outside, walking- no matter what else I do.

    I try and exercise everyday, but taking classes is pretty much the only way to do it. I found a bunch of gyms/studios in my neighborhood that are awesome and range from yoga to dance to spinning. It really helps in a class because you’re encouraged to push yourself. I vow to exercise everyday, whether it be some sit-ups or a full-on dance class!

    I love Zumba. I did a Zumba workout this morning at the gym. I came home after that and had a TLC Soft Baked Blackberry Graham cereal bar. Yummy!!!

    My daily excercise is hiking up and down the stairs day and night. Legs get a good work out.

    I signed up last month at a website called sweat365, and it pushes me to workout as much as I can. You enter in what you have done for the day and it gives you a graph that breaks down each workout that you do, calories, and how many miles you have done for the year. It also has a thing to go on your facebook so you and your friends can see how much you workout for the week.

    I signed up for a gym near my home, and i set aside at least an hour a day to go. I make it an important point of my day… And like work, I have it set in my mind that even if you don’t feel like going that day, you always feel better after you go ahead and do it. And I always feel energized and accomplished after I leave the gym. And I try different routines or swap up machines so I don’t get bored.

    I travel every week. I always make sure that I have some place to exercise whether it is a pool at the hotel, a track to walk or run, some fitness centers will let me pay a small fee to use their facility while in their city. colleges have facilities that allow the public to work out. I try to workout with weights at least 2 hours a week and do some other kind of activity at least 3 hours a week. I eat many Kashi products, fruits and veggies. Yes, I take a day and eat what I want for the most part in moderation. No meat though.

    I put my exercise time into my daily schedule just like a meeting or appointment. It is my way of making sure that I have time to take care of myself as well as meeting other daily demands.

    I work out for 30 minutes when I wake up, then try to take a 20-40 minute walk at lunch if my workload isn’t too big.

    I get up Monday through Friday and spend 30 minutes on my treadmill. I also spend 20 minutes of my lunch time walking, doing sit-ups, and push-ups with 3 of my friends. I try to exercise on the weekends too. I have been going strong since the beginning of the year and I have lost 5 pounds and my pants feel big on me!

    This is me last Christmas! I can’t believe I used to be a size two! Well, I am now walking everyday, & doing thirty situps every night. I first found your bars, loved them, then your cereal which my husband & I both enjoy but somewhere I found your Go lean vanilla shake & loved it! I want So much to get down to my old size again I would be happy in a size seven! Unfortunately, I forgot the store I purchased it at so I guess I will have to buy my shakes online for now. This also gives me a chance to see the new stuff too!LOV EVERYTHING!! Annie

    Instead of keeping an exercise to-do list, I keep an “exercise accomplished list”. Every night after I return from my workout, I log on a calendar whatever kind of exercise I did and the time spent doing it. It’s a great feeling to look back on your week or month and to see that you made time for your well being.

    I make sure to either run outside or run on a treadmill for 4-8 miles 5 or 6 times a week. It feels great when I accomplish this!

    My favorite way to add exercise into my daily routine is to park at the back of the parking lot when running errands. Not only do you get more exercise on the way in, but you usually have to walk pretty far to push the cart back.

    i work out every day but friday because we have happy hour! i like giving myself a day to look forward to where i dont have to do anything. ive found that it’s easiest for me to exercise after work. i make sure to drinks lots of water during the way and eat a snack (kashi!) around 330-4 so i have more energy to run.

    I found it effective for me to “schedule” a two hour block of time on the days that I exercise. I actually add this “meeting” into my electronic calendar so that I can ensure that I do not have any conflicts with other activities.
