So I have gained weight recently (like, way too much) and was feeling down because my job is so sedentary, I barely exercised.

But in the past two weeks that’s changed! I got a mini stepper for days when I just can’t get outside, got a wobble board for core workouts (that one is plain fun), and got ankle weights for walks.

Have done a 20-minute walk every day this past week. I’m already noticing more strength and stamina!

Going to keep this up and get FIT.

    Congrats! This is awesome. As someone who was in this place a few years back, I can honestly say that your future self will thank you for sticking with this.

    About 5 years ago, I started working out consistently, and it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a really long time. Once it became a habit, I missed working out if I couldn’t make it for a few days. I crave it now. I am in my mid-forties now, but I’m fitter than I was for most of my thirties, and I have more energy for things.

    So great job for getting active again, and stick with it! You will be so happy you did.

      Yay, thank you. Yeah, I’m about to turn 42 and was definitely feeling it. I want to be more fit and flexible in my “golden” years.
