Hi! I'm really trying to get into exercising. I was into some sports when I was younger, but now it's hard for me to get motivated to exercise. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for beginner exercisers? It's winter where I'm located, so not a whole lot I can do outside right now, but I'll welcome those suggestions too. Thanks

You can start with the Walk Away The Pounds videos which can be found on Youtube. You march on the spot and do a few movements and without realizing it, you actually will have walked a mile, which is a good way to get back into shape. Then you can try the 2 mile and the 3 mile. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=walk+away+the+pounds+1+mile&sm=1
You could also do Yoga for Beginners if you want a relaxing and stretching exercise : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o0kNeOyH98 Some people find Yoga boring but it is really rejuvenating and it becomes addictive once you give it a chance.0 -
I liked the elliptical for starting my exercise. You can adjust the level, speed and intensity to suit your needs. I use the stationary bike for those mornings I just can't motivate myself to get moving. Those mornings when I don't even wanna stand for 30-45 mins, much less exercise. I cut myself some slack and do a light, low resistance workout on the bike. Once you get a little more used to it, you can build up to daily running and weights.0
