Hi I was wondering if anyone has some ideas of burning a few extra calories at the end of a day that you have over-eaten. During the week I'm fine, but at the weekend if I haven't been very active I find I've gone over my calorie intake

    I've never tried running, just the thought of all my bits wobbling about puts me off! I do walk a lot as I don't drive, and I go mountain biking. But running just doesn't attract me. But thanks for your comment

    walking, just incorporate it into daily acctiviy. try and find a few activities or places to vist youd enjoy, walking makes more sense when you are going soemwhere. How about dancing, swimming or a sport you cna enjoy?

    Exercise dvd in the privacy of your own home - wobbly bits are then less of a problem! Davina macall dvd's are a fave of mine! Alternatively devise your own workout or look on YouTube.

    I take my kids to the park and play with them. It's bonding for us and I don't feel as bad about my day.

    Or just be more careful with your intake through the day instead of panic exercising last thing? You can't out exercise a bad diet is the good old expression but it's true. Or save some calories through the week to use at the weekend. The way you're doing it now doesn't really seem sustainable or habit changing.

    Indoor treadmill facing TV

    I Start the day on it. And if I eat more than I wanted to or just want more for the day, end the day on it.
