Think small
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours
Often, we’re so busy aiming high – and big – that we forget how motivating it can be to set smaller, more realistic goals. Instead of cycling for an hour, try 15 minutes. Or, climb one set of stairs instead of three. Setting more doable goals not only increases chances of success, it is more likely to increase self-esteem, which translates into longer-term stick-with-fitness! Today, challenge yourself to make your usual routine bite-size.

I’m just beginning to think smaller. Wish me luck.
I am too so good luck! My motivation is that even one lap around the track is better than going home after work and sitting on my couch…you know that once you get going you will do more!
Started with short 20 minute bike rides, now I ride for nearly 50 minutes!
started out with short walks. now i’m up to 2 miles.
Thia ia my first step. Baby steps are best for me right now.
Learning to do anything, but sit. It is never to small. So today I have finally gotten to the gym and got certified on the exercise equipment and participated in an Aerobics class. So tomorrow, I will try to walk the dogs a little farther. We are up to 35 min with the puppy. Then I have to be more positive about portion control and working on my weight.
Started this at begining of year. Do a short workout every day changing it up by focussing on something different every day. Lost 1 inch off of waist each month by doing this. I use saturday and sunday as my off days. I keep a diary of what I eat each day. This keeps me from going to the cubbord to pick something up out of bordom. It also helps me to realize what I am acutually eating. Also, if I feel the urge to eat and my stomach isn’t growling I will do an exercise or short chore, and if I am still “hungry” I will eat a nutrigrain bar or veggies then.
New here. Ready to give it a try.
I did 2 shimmy excersises.
Did a fitness game yourself fitness for 15 mins
This is easy since I allready do this…. baby steps lead to giant leaps:)
