You Can Lose Weight Simply By Walking- You Just Need To Establish A Routine

We are asking our PEERtrainer Tip Of The Day members where they are right now in their weight loss journey and what is the next step they are willing to take that they have not yet. This is important because while your long term goals and objectives are important, the only thing that really matters is that are you willing to do right now, as an immediate next step.

By asking people this question we got an avalanche of responses, and it seems as if this simple question provided lots of immediate motivation.

"I am willing to start walking most days. That seems too simple to even state, but I have found so many ways to obstruct a daily walking routine. I am willing to walk 5 days a week. That will be my new "willing to do."

This is a great decision. Walking can clear your mind and help you process and ruminating thoughts that might be bringing you down. So many people have lost upwards of 30 pounds just by the one decision of incorporating a 30 minute walk every day. And there is a health benefit by the simple motion of your arms swinging in the rhythmic way that they do when you’re at a nice pace.

 The best part is that you don’t need special shoes or a specific path. Just get out there and make sure that the second an excuse pops in your head of why you can’t go right now, just answer back, yes, right now and walk out the door. One of my friend’s mom used to always say, “Change your space, change your mind.”

How about a mini trampoline, is slow jumping up and down considered a good work out or jogging on it, is this good too?

I love my trampoline, You can definitely get a good workout on it and there are lots of DVDs for follow along routines, and when you don't really feel like feeling the burn, you can get energized by gentle bouncing for a while and you are good to go again. I even started a team for rebounding, but could not get any interest in it. It is fun. Get a good one because the cheaper ones just hurt to bounce on.
