However, for some reason I didn't reap what I thought I was sowing. And, eventually I wanted to give up and to be honest I actually fell off the wagon for a couple of weeks. But then I picked myself back up and said I had to do this, because I don't want to take medicine due to health problems, I want to play with my kids and not be out of breathe, and most importantly I want this temple God has given me to live for a long time.

- Should I start with High or Low Intensity Workouts?
- It is very important to vary a fitness routine with both low and high intensity workouts, because both have benefits for fat burning, weight loss, overall health.
- Low intensity workouts that gradually increase in intensity over time will help you build your aerobic base.
- When you build your aerobic base you become more efficient at using fat as a fuel source and you will be able to participate in high intensity workouts without feeling nauseated or light headed.
- High intensity workouts help you increase the amount of calories that you will burn and will increase your metabolic rate, especially for the first two hours after your work out is complete.
- Both styles of workouts are important and both will help you burn fat, burn calories, and change your physique!
- Repeating the same exercise everyday puts a lot of stress on your joints, bones, and connective tissues. By repeating the exercise your body will suffer some type of over use.

Hey Jeanette, I want you to know I was listening (source) |
The hardest part about working out is scheduling. If I had an additional eight hours added to the 24 hours God has already given us, I know without a doubt I would have time to exercise. But since that is not the case, I'm going to have to fit it in somewhere. I like it when Jeanette said "schedule workouts around your daily to do list." Even if it's only 20 minutes, I know I have to start somewhere.
Another thing I liked about what she said is "find an accountability
partner." Well, that's actually not to hard for me. I have two boys and just like I'm in the low intensity part of my workout, so are they. So, I know they will be great partners to at least start out with in the beginning.
