Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

If you made a New Year’s Resolution to exercise more, you’re probably to the point where you want to quit right now. That’s because you’re bored. You need a little motivation and support. There is no better way to start exercising than walking because it’s cheap and you already know how to do it.

Wendy Bumgardner at About.com has a 28-day walking course that will email you daily emails to get you from couch potato to walking demon. You can sign up for the email course here:

• Let’s Get Walking

If you are lacking motivation for the exercise regime that you set up for yourself, it’s not your fault. There might be a couple of things getting in your way:

• You are working out too hard.

• You are bored with what you chose.

• You have no one else to compare notes with.

• You injured yourself.

Whatever your reason, start with a simple program like Wendy’s Let’s Get Walking program. Ease yourself into exercise with a daily email to remind you of your goal. Don’t give up now, just switch things up!
