I've lost so much weight since I adopted my boxer/heeler mix puppy. How can you say no to a long daily walk from those sweet eyes? If becoming a pet owner doesn't work for you, my next tip is to pick up a home exercise bike, stairclimber or other machine and get hooked on a new TV series. Make yourself only watch the 1-hour show when you're doing your workout. Then exercise becomes something you look forward to! This tip won’t work for everyone, but I highly recommend getting a dog!

Go on to myyogaonline.com choose a 15-30 minute yoga or pilates workout. Feel refreshed and centered to start each day. I LOVE this plan. It has really worked for me. I work hard to commit to the early morning just for myself....although sometimes my children or husband will suprise me and wake up to join me:) Wake up before the family each day.

For me - I love dance. I've danced my whole life - and doing something I love makes it easy to fit movement into my life. The other thing is - don't stress over it. Any amount of movement is a good thing - especially when you're just starting out. Yeah, you want to strive for 30 minutes 5 times a week - but don't stress over it or you'll just not want to do it. Again - find something you love that doesn't feel like a chore and that 30 minutes 5 times a week will feel like nothin' :) I think the best tip I have is to find something you love to do.
