Leslie Sansone is a series of walk at home fitness videos on DVD (I found several on YouTube). I have severe arthritis in both of my knees, so I'm starting out slow and easy.

Me too! Today was my first day of summer break and I worked out first thing this morning!
Not even 1pm here yet and my 3 mile walk and weight lifting has been done for the day! It's much better working out in the morning/early afternoon for me. Rest of the day free!
Thanks everyone. Was feeling better yesterday, must have been a quick bug! I DID exercise yesterday, so, do I need to start my 100 days over or do I count yesterday as day three? I want to point out, I exercised despite the fact my daughter dropped a bowling ball on my foot and more or less shattered my big toe nail (surprisingly the toe is fine, the nail, not so much.) It hurt...but I worked through the pain! I so love kids...and sometimes I want to bloody throttle them

No starting over in this challenge! We're all just working toward 100 days of exercise, if we need a break now and then that's okay!
I haven't exercised yet today... At this point I'm not likely to...
Edited to add: I did it! At nearly 10pm I squeezed my workout in. No skipped days yet! Tomorrow I'm going back t first thing to get it over with

I'm so impressed that so many of you have 8 or 9 days of exercise in (no breaks)! I had to take a break on Friday. My official Medifast weigh in had me down only 0.2 pounds for the week, and it was 105 degrees... I just couldn't muster the initiative to do it. However, I did drop a couple pounds the next day, so I'm not beating myself up about it...

And for the record...I HATE yoga. "Do yoga" they say. "It's easy" they say. "It won't feel like a workout at all" they say. Yeah...they can shove it. It was harder than my three mile run today combined with my double whammy of 30DS back top back with a touch of ab work thrown in. Maybe my muscles where just worn down...or maybe yoga is tougher than all of that. Regardless, I SO don't like it. 5 minutes in wore me out more than 2 hours of everything else today. WHAT the heck is that about! It was just breathing and stretching!!!!
(actually...maybe I liked it. I like challenges...but I think I am not ready for the challenge of simple stretch )
I loved yoga when I was more normal sized (translation - overweight instead of obese). I find it IMPOSSIBLE now, partly because of my size and partly because of my achy arthritic joints. It definitely is harder than it looks!
I'd love to exercise for 100 days.. I have walked 30 minutes 5 days of this month but is it ok if I start tomorrow and call it day one for me? I'd love to see how many days in a row I can get in exercise.
Start whenever you like! We're not one of those strict rules kind of challenges , just some nice people challenging ourselves to get into shape! and support each other along the way.
