You should have a blue booklet with your start pack called "Body Magic", there's a chart in there of how much exercise you need to be doing to get the awards and your consultant will be able to provide Fit Logs for you to complete. I think it's something like 15 minutes 5 times a week for 4 weeks for Bronze up to 30 minutes 5 times a week for 8 weeks for Gold. Haven't got the book to hand so don't quote me on the figures but that's the recollection I have.
It's on Lifeline Online too if you're interested in reading more.
I've been walking 5 times a week since the middle of December so realy want to start collecting these awards. Our consultant doesn't really spend any time talking about it though so I'm going to have to push for it I think lol.
I lost quite a bit of weight before and my tummy is not the best so I'm really conscious of toning while losing as I want to avoid requiring an apronectomy if possible. Walking seems cheaper and less painful.
Plus I totally agree about the motivation side of it Mini, when I feel healthful and revitalised I make better food choices than if I'm slouching in front of the tv craving smarties. Just 45 mins to an hour a day has really boosted me.
