I am 9 weeks out of surgery and can't seem to get motivated to exercise. My job is pretty physical and I walk my dog almost every day. After all that I just can't seem to get off my butt to do real exercise. Any suggestions on how to ease into it? Thanks

It's just a commitment you have to make if you want to lose weight. Try biking, join a marshall arts class, spin classes, gyms etc.

I'm sure plenty of people run into this problem all the time, Like me today. I just got from Vacation and went 3 weeks without any trips to the gym But today even though I feel like dragging ass Im getting up and going because I need to do it. Having a workout buddy to help with motivation is good too. Just get up and do it NO excuses

Oh and I forgot!!!! When I first started going I did the bike for a while, and then i added weights and after that i started doing the elliptical and weights. Also The treadmill but on an incline at a fast pace. Its easy once you actually start to do it, the problem is getting into a routine.

Having a workout buddy is what keeps me going to the gym. If you don't have a workout buddy try Workout classes, like Zumba or aerobics. Your bound to meet workout buddies there and Zumba is so much fun! You don't even feel like your working out.

So, when you move past the tread mill & bike then start adding weights..... can anyone be more specific for me, please? It's been 10 yrs since I did a regular workout routine & I'm just picturing myself staring at the weights, going, "Hm, I'm supposed to do something with you.... but..... I got nothin'". lol

Go to youtube and search womens strength, women's exercise and womens cardo exercises. Lots to choose from.

If you belong to a gym, I like the circuit training nautilus equipment too.
