It’s January 1, so you know what that means, right??? It’s time to make resolutions that include exercise. My goal is to not only keep myself motivated with exercise, but to motivate the people around me. Exercise is so much more fun when you have someone to talk to about it. A few things that I’ve added to my daily walks are:  Couch to 10K.  I’m using this app:
I’m actually on week 2.  It starts out really easy, about 30 minutes for the total work out.  I think I had to run for minute increments in between walks last week for about 30 minutes.  Yesterday, it was 90 second runs alternating between 2 minute walks for 20 minutes.  It’s really created for beginning runners.  I’m probably more advanced, but I kind of like the slow start to build up my confidence in running.

I also created a calendar to make me do some crunches and sit ups each day.  It’s not really difficult and I may change the amount I do each day as the month progresses.  Since it is so easy, I should be able to keep it up.  (This is the first fitness calendar I’ve created. I’ll get better at making them over then next 12 months.)

I also plan to continue doing KettleWorx once I get back home. I have a love/hate relationship with KettleWorx, but you can really see (and feel) a difference quickly if you do it regularly!
