How old are you and how often do you exercise?
When do you exercise and how do you fit it into your days?
I need motivation!

I'm 45 and don't exercise...

48 years old. Zero exercise for the last 30 years, HATED exercise, and skating by on being naturally slim. However my size has been on a trajectory upwards though, so decided enough is enough. I signed up to the Figure 8 program, and have been exercising 6days a week for the last month and I'm really enjoying it. I can see all sorts of benefits, and wish I'd started decades ago. I am hoping to be down a dress size by the end of next month, just on exercise, and no dieting (which I hate even more than exercise).

Itstheprinciple Do you like swimming? You'll feel less sweaty and wobbly in the pool.

29... I do at least 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a week and usually 30 minutes of weights too, although sometimes I only manage those 4 times.

That said, I work from home and my steps are woefully low if I don’t... it’s still more of a “forcing myself to do this” rather than an enjoyment.

TheOrigBrave I do like swimming but I'm not very good at it! I did go through a phase of swimming last summer and I'm not really sure why I stopped. I am v. short sighted so it's faffing about with contact lenses and goggles but that really is an excuse!
