We all know how getting fit can be a challenge.
The thought of working out hours on end and giving up some of our favorite foods are upsetting to say the least.
When you are first starting out all you have to do is getting moving. Start small. This is a marathon, not a sprint. You reach your goal with slow, small steps. How about walking? That is something simple to start with. You do it every day now. You walk around the house. You walk in the grocery store. Take it to the next level. Make it your first small step goal to get healthy and start trying to get 10,000 steps every single day. 10,000 steps is roughly 4 miles (depending on your stride). It sounds like a lot but really, you probably already walk this much already doing just your every day tasks. You will be amazed.
How do I track my steps you say? A pedometer.
How about this clip pedometer from SportsLine? It can clip anywhere and it tracks your steps, distance , and calories burned.
My husband uses this pedometer and he likes it because it is small. It does not attract attention when he is out on business meetings. I think his clients think he is old school and its a pager or something. He is happy and it gets him to wear it, so that is all that matters to me.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Are you more a runner? Tracking your heart rate is very important, especially if you have taken up the exercise of running. I am training for my first half marathon right now and I wear a heart rate monitor. I use the Sportsline Duo 1060. They are pricey but worth the money.
One reader will win the Sportsline Womens Solo 960 Heart Rate Monitor(pictured below)!

I’ve been eating healthier. TONS of fruits and veggies, upping my fiber intake, and actually getting to the gym. It’s been rubbing off on my husband as well, which is awesome! I’m half-way to my weight-loss goal…and hope to just stay active and continue the new healthy habits I’ve learned!

Just realized when I stopped by to check out the competition, I never left a comment for the mandatory entry…
I am trying to eat better (seems like I always say that). I did walk a half marathon in April and planning on doing another in October. Would love to be able run/walk a 1/2 marathon April 2012.
