need trick please no judgment please

i see a boston in your pic, yours?? there is a friend to walk with.

Get some DVDs to work out too. They have some at walmart for 10$ +.

I use P90x it's more expensive but I consider it an investment.

I started out going for walks with my dog. It went from 15 minute walks to an hour or more at a time now. I really enjoy the walks with my dog, if you have a dog you can walk with then I would suggest this. There really isn't any tricks that I know of but there are lots of exercise videos on Youtube that you can work out with if you don't have any exercise videos. Good luck!!!

Bostons have tons of energy, start taking him for long walks!

edit: duplicate post.

With me it started with dog walking - if you don't have a dog then shelters are often looking for volunteers. I gradually built up the distances and speed, and then progressed to jogging and I'm now obsessed with running every day! I was totally rubbish at sports at school, and a couch potato before March of this year, so I've gone from nothing to running 18 miles in 4 months. Running isn't totally free because you need good shoes, but you can always get last season's styles at good prices in the sales from surfing the internet - less than the cost of 1 month of gym membership.

Anyone can start running at any age - endurance does not decline with age.

For inspiration, check out the story of Cliff Young.

And of course there is the most understated workout of all - a good session of housework. I've developed a passion for hoovering and ironing, and I no longer see them as chores.

I am no expert. Just starting here myself but maybe I can help by telling you what I do... I also don't have a gym membership. And if I walk it's with my 3 year old at his pace. But at this point, I figure movement is movement. Anything that gets me moving and off the couch is exercise and that us beneficial to my weight loss. As a reforming couch potato, I also love tv. There's about 5 shows each week that are an hour long that I record on my dvr. When the kids are napping or playing outside and the hubby isn't home from work yet, I'll throw on the show and commit to moving for the hour its on. It's not a structured "work out" but I'm moving and breathing heavy once its over. I start with sitting on the couch, then standing up. Then standing and sitting. I'll do that for a good 10 minutes. Then I'll grab some heavy soup cans and I'll stand with my feet apart and I'll take the cans one in each hand and bend over to put them on the ground then stand up and raise them over my head. At every commercial break, I walk up and down the stairs. If my legs get tired, I push through it. And when I need to sit, I sit and do circles with my arms. I just commit to keep moving for that hour and it isn't easy but I do it. I am obese and I'm sure there are other things I can do eventually but for me this is the best place to start. Hope that helps. And if you're looking for some support, add me. I'll help keep you motivated.

I would just start with what's available around you: walk up and down stairs, walk around the block (by yourself or with your cute doggie if you're in a safe area), do some sit ups and push ups and stretches - nothing fancy is required! Stand more instead of sitting. LIke a previous poster said, using soup cans for weights is a great idea! Do you have a bike or can you perhaps borrow one? You don't need to go to the gym or have any fancy equipment! All the best to you in your journey to better health!

but i never did exercise and don't know how to start. every thing is very expensive

does not have to be expensive. you are on here so lets assume you have a computer and internet.

go to youtube search workout, you will find bunches.

put a leash on your doggies and walk out the front door.

put the stereo, mp3 player or what everyou you have and jut get UP and move.

I am not meaning to sound snarky but there honeslty is no big trick or secret to starting to exercise.

the first step is to make up your mind
the second step is to get up and do!

the onlly thing that can stop you is you.

If your dog isn't up for the walking ... try checking out your local SPCA or Humane Society. They're always looking for volunteers to clean the cages and walk the animals and play with them...

My dog is old and really can't go for walks with me (as much as he wants to)... but I use a DVD 4 Fast and Firm Miles by Leslie Sansone. I got it for about $12 on Amazon.com.

I also saw that Amazon now rents movies/exercise videos straight to your computer. You can try that out to see if that works for you.

Walk in place, march in place, jog in place, move your legs from side to side, kick your legs with the opposite arm going out forward at the same time. Alternate doing all of these things for 30 minutes or so. These are some of the exercises off of Walk away the lbs DVD's.

You can do your own exercises. As long as you are moving, getting your heart rate up and sweating you are burning calories. You do not need any kind of exercise equipment, dvds, gym memberships etc.

Walking is one of the best things to do even if you have to do it in place in your house. Put some music on and get to moving.
