REGULAR EXERCISE

[Lupin1]

Or sign up for a class so you're expected to be there at a specific time and you have structure to your workout (which is really good for most people since most people how no idea how to work out effectively).

Not to repeat what everyone else has already recommended, but I think they're all great ideas. I especially like the lazy jar idea. LOL, I might try that for myself! Identifying the obstacles that are keeping her from exercising is key. Then coming up with solutions to overcome those obstacles would be the next step.

For me, finding the TIME to exercise was the hardest. Between helping kids with homework, daily chores, work and our 3 weekly karate classes, I had to work out a way to fit it in, and not feel guilty about my "me time".

Keeping the exercise fun, mixing it up with different forms makes it not seem so "bad". Trying zumba, or swimming, racketball, etc. For me, I am working on running. I like to see progression, so it works for me. And I feel great afterwards.

Encourage her to work hard, but not to push herself too hard, too fast. That's when I tend to "burn out" on a certain activity.
