New Year's Resolutions... Broken Promises! Are You In That Boat?

New Year's Resolutions... Broken Promises!  Are You In That Boat?

Hello Active Rain and Friends,

Did you make yourself a promise to lose weight or just to get into shape this year.  How's it going?

Like millions we climbed aboard the "Good Ship Lose Some Pounds".  The problem is the ship keeps coming into port, you know, you wake up and think... "I can't do this today".

We try to get up every morning, Al on the recumbent bike and Peggy on the treadmill.  Depending on the tension on the bike or the incline on the treadmill will determine how long you go.  We are up to 32 minutes a day.  Don't worry about the time, we heard recently anything over 42 minutes is a waste.  So don't use time as your excuse for not exercising.

We like to use a music video to keep us in step or stride depending on your type of exercising.

Now, we have never had any formal training in weight loss or getting into shape but can tell you that over the years we have lost hundreds of pounds... only problem is they came back and brought some friends.  It always seems the friends are growing faster than our Facebook page.

Here is a great video to watch as you exercise, some of you will remember Meat Loaf... he is truly a great singer and performer.  You may have to search to find this video but it is well worth the $25-30 it will cost.

We found this short commercial for GoPhone that will bring back memories to you, who Meat Loaf is, have a listen.
