Exercise Is For Those With No Life...

Exercise... sometimes it seems like it's such a waste of time!

I've had my times of walking for an hour a day, running to one lamp post and walking to the next, then running again... all in the hope of losing weight and feeling good.

But, when you are over 40, like me... it just doesn't seem to work as well. Far too much effort, for such little gain... in my opinion!

I've lost a kilo here or there doing that, but the results just aren't worth it. I mean most days exercise soaks up a good hour and a half after the shower. And afterwards I was so tired sometimes I'd want to go to sleep... zzzzzzzzzzz

Without a doubt, the best results I've got are from being on the Cohen Diet... losing 15kgs in less than 6 weeks, being on a diet where I actually struggled to eat all the food... and absolutely no exercise :)

But now I've realised that being thinner feels better, but I've got these thin girl arms... and I'm not as strong as I used to be.

So I've designed myself a program which takes 10 minutes 3 times a day... even I can exert myself for 10 minutes at a time!

And, it gets me off my bum 3 times a day more than before... the joys of being an internet marketer stuck behind a screen 9 hours a day!

I started this program a week ago:
10 squats, then 10 pushups, then 10 situps at 10am, 12pm and 3pm every week day.

The next day I increased the reps to 11, the next day 12 reps and today I'm up to 19 reps of each... and I feel good!

I might get to 20 reps and stay there for a week and increase it to 21 reps for the next week... cause its getting a bit tough... but considering that I struggled to do 10 reps just over a week ago, it's a great improvement.

Slowly, slowly to catch the monkey!!

I'm a little stiff in the chest which means those muscles are working hard. I figured that because this program is quick and simple I'm more likely to make it a habit.

And the thing is at 10 reps each x 3 times a day x 365 days = 10,950 squats, 10,950 push ups and 10,950 sit ups I'll do in a year at the minimum.

Now if I'm doing 50 of each, 3 times a day... that's 54,750 reps per year of each exercise...

Simple but effective... try it...
