I’ve just read this article by Chris Powell at Huffington Post. He sums up a good overall plan for weight loss. I’ve got part one down cold, part two in concept, if not entirely in action … and I haven’t even started on part three this time around. I’ll get to it – because I know I must – but I have to tell you (and many of you will quietly agree) I find exercise for the sake of exercise exceedingly frustrating. But, yes, Powell is correct. Losing weight – permanently – requires more exercise than I’m likely to get in my daily routine as a suburban American dude.
Go read Powell. I’ll catch up with you tomorrow with some thoughts on “passive” exercise, and how I trick myself into exercise that doesn’t look or feel like exercise.
