I know I'm late...but can I join...please! I actually quite enjoy exercise and definitely find it easier to exercise than diet!
So I'm also going to commit to 30 mins of daily activity
Day 1
Went to the gym...25 mins treadmill run walk intervals, and a few other bits...squats, shoulder press, lat pull down, calf raises and ab rolls on the Swiss ball, and a side swingy thing that I don't know the name of!

yay, I've been waiting for someone to join me
well done on your gym session, I've missed mine today as I felt awful this morning after too much wine last night! I'm glad I still got a walk in though Wow you do loads at the gym
I get carried away with it when I'm in there, I'm limited with when I can go so try to get in as much as I can when I do. I've started with weight training now too so am aiming to do 1 hour of cardio for the calorie burn and then 30 minutes of weights for toning!

your plan looks good for the week. ... If I have my daughter at home the best I manage is a quick walk round the park or playing on the wii! I have a cross trainer in the spare room which I've dug out today. ... getting her to leave me to get on with it for an hour today was a nightmare! !!

It's so hard with kids, but my ex is babysitting tues & fri which is why I have to plan. My short runs are generally accompanied by my kids on bikes! And i can sneak to the gym when they're having their swimming lessons. It's a juggling act which is why in need to plan, but there are definitely more options than when they were smaller (they're 9 & 10...too young to leave but much more adaptable) Few years time and I won't even need to worry any more!

Hi I've been looking for a thread like this. I'm following Chris Powell's plan which exercise and food combined - I'm just starting week 4 - I do a minimum 30 mins 6 days a week.
I juggle gym sessions with work and 3 kids and some of my 30 mins are with the kids on just dance or wii fit. I'm also exercising round a joint condition which means I'm in some pain everyday but pain will reduce as I get stronger and my muscles support me better.
My rest day is a Saturday. Went to the gym yesterday and rediscovered some back muscles from kettle bell swings!
I'm trying to decide whether to find some childcare Thursday morning so I can do my pilates class - essential for me and life keeps getting in the way.
So pleased to have found a good exercise thread ☺

His book is Choose to Lose, 7 day carb cycling - on Kindle. He's one of the 'Obese a year to save your life' presenters. Whilst I'm not very overweight I really like the plan as it has the exercise in it and is really flexible. Food wise it's pretty easy - healthy breakfast with carbs every day then alternate days lowering carbs the rest of the day and one day off completely. 5 meals a day. Its explained on his website but I needed the book to get my head around it. Eating more is scary!! Lost 3 lb in 3 weeks but toning up too and feels great moving more!

Hi everyone,
Can I join? I usually run daily and go for an evening walk but occasionally (once a fortnight/month) have a walking only day or do a Rosemary Conley workout DVD. I got a folding exercise bike last week and still haven't put it up but am looking forward to using that too! I also have a gym-type skipping rope with a calorie counter on it but found that I was getting shin pain from using it! I would swim but have germ/contamination OCD and the local swimming pool changing rooms are grose!

I know what you mean about swimming pools - mine is ok luckily! I'm trying to decide if 2 hrs of kids room tidying is the equivalent to 30 mins exercise? !?!?!?
