I have never ever worked out befor,and befor this never watched my diet.I was a perfect weight and size as far as I was concerned until I got merried and started on the pill.I also went from working 2 full time jobs to one part time job.Now I'm back to full time,actually 10 hours a day,but here in lies the problem,I'm at my desk sitting on my ever widening butt the WHOLE day,plus the additional 2 hours of commute.As you can see I have littel time to workout but I am determind,first to lose wight,then to be healthy,then to look good.Every thing I read says,get up and walk around,take the stairs,okay but there are no stairs and it's only one office,I guess my questions are many:
* how do you sit at your desk and read all about fittness and then actually stay super motivated in order to actually do the work out?
*What snacks/meals can you eat at a reception desk that don't make noise or take up to many preciouse calories?
*what can I do at my desk that will not be obviouse to the clients that I'm working on myself?
Iv'e noticed that my posture has been improving with just the thought of working out,are ther specific workouts that can contribute to improving posture and getting rid of the horrible'computer crooked neck'?
I'll post in the newbie section too since I just signed up and this gives alot of backround.
*smile*Hi eerybody!

If you are talking about those machines you strap around your waist....look around if they worked half as well as they claim to everyone would have a sixpac.....I fear that only on those with low BF and abs showing already will it work on if then. To stay motivated, just take a pic of yourself now and tape it somewhere you look at a lot, that is what I do and it kicks my butt into gear everytime I want to quit!!!

IF YOU CAN STILL ITCH YOUR NOSE AFTER ARM DAY, GO DO ANOTHER SET!!!

i keep my schedule in paper form and write my goals on it. (such as: I WILL do all my cardio this week!) if i write it down, then i have commited myself to it. plus i can take the paper where ever i go so it's easy to stay on track.
some inconspicuous exercises:
seated calf raises w/ dumbell on knees
squeeze, hold, and release butt muscles while seated
seated twists for abs (obliques)
sitting against the wall as if in a chair (quads)1min intervals (don't get discouraged if you can only do for a few secs. it'll get easier as you continue)
if you have some free moments:
squats front raises
bicep curls lateral raises
on my lunch break i usually scarf down my food for the 1st 20min and then power walk the last 20 min and then do some stretches when i get back to my desk.
good luck
