Since intuitive eating is my mode for weight loss and weight management, the scale isn’t necessarily a fast moving way to tell whether weight loss or weight management goals have been achieved. As a result, I not only rely on the scale to keep me honest, but I allow the mirror and a tape measure to also be helpful guides in showing whether some parts are getting less toned than they used to be. 😉
While I love to exercise, I have to confess that I have not been necessarily moved to action by my gym classes lately. (I hope to switch to a new gym toward the end of the month.) I have also been super busy these last couple of weeks and have skipped out on several of my classes. As a result, I’ve found myself searching for some new ways to work in exercise during my normal everyday life. Since I, like most of America, spend most of my day at work, I decided to revisit what fun exercises I could do while sitting at my desk.
I already take a daily 20-30 minute walk during my lunch break, but I have now also added taking the stairs and these simple, but effective office/desk exercises from SparkPeople.com.
While I haven’t been doing them long enough to see the actual toning taking place, I have done them long enough to be sore after, so I know they must be working. 😉
How do you work in exercise into your daily routine? What do you do to keep your work out routine fresh and inviting?

Sometimes it’s heard to wait for the results but it will be worth it in the end. I try to spread out my activity but some days I end up running in the evening just to equal normal movement throughout the day.
Yay, you for running Lisa. My knees are not the best, but I definitely try my best to move as much as possible as many times as I can 🙂
