I would consider myself to be a hypocrite if I wrote a blog like Fit Over 50 while continuing my previous miserable habits without making any attempt to change.

I figure, if I’m going to Talk the Talk, I better Walk the Walk.

To that end I have been driving myself into an almost daily exercise program that will help my cardio-vascular system, improve my energy level and, hopefully, help me lose 6 or 8 pounds eventually.

I’m looking for variety to keep my interest from waning. The treadmill, elliptical machine and outdoor walking currently make up my repertoire. I would like to add some yoga or weight training to round out my workout.

I’m looking for suggestions. What tips do you have for adding interest and variety to your work-out routine? Do you follow the same routine every time you work out? Do you alternate days? Do you exercise alone? With a friend? At the gym or other exercise facility? How do your exercise needs and efforts differ now from what they were 10, 15, 20 or more years ago?

What about exercise videos? Are they of any real value? Does having an “expert” show you what to do inspire or discourage you?

Drop an e-mail and share your ideas and look for your ideas to be highlighted in future posts.
