Bloggranddaughter Rave of Quid Nunc is wondering how to start her exercise program so she can finish attaining her weight goal.

My suggestion - a two-minute workout.

Seriously.

Why?

Because:

1) It's not much, but it's still better than the nothing you're doing now.

2) "It's only 2 minutes" is a fairly convincing argument if you find yourself "not in the mood".

3) The hardest part of any exercise program is getting the habit. Once you have the habit, then it's easier to convince yourself to do more.

Doesn't matter what you do for those two minutes. Even walking in place. Just something vaguely exercise-related. You can fine-tune it later. The important thing is that your self-concept changes to "I'm a person who exercises".

Make that switch, and you win.

1 Great idea. However i'll start with a 10 second ex-ercise program and work my way up from there if it works out for me.

2 ...I'm working out right now, clenching my butt cheeks together. What? Seriously, I used to work out while watching t.v. at night; it was perfect. Of course, I was younger then.
