Newbie needs motivation

Hello,

I just found this board this evening and am hoping for some suggestions. I can control my eating pretty well but have a terrible time getting motivated to exercise. My dad recently had surgery as a result of poor circulation and it was kind of a wake-up call for me. I need to get moving NOW if I want to be in good shape when I get to be in my early 60s like he is now.

I am fortunate enough to have a small workout room (which includes a treadmill, stair stepper & weights) at my job. (Which really just goes to show how truly unmotivated I am, now doesn't it?) ;)

Any advice?

TIA,
Robyn

Hi there! There's also a ton of exercise dvd's you can do from home. Maybe experiment around and see what you like (step, tae bo, walking, etc...)
