January’s Exercise Goal
In thinking through how I want to reach my major goal milestones, (i.e., buy new clothes in the next size down, and lose 8 pounds a month from now until the conference in April), I decided I needed to really focus on one exercise program to give me structure and to be able to plan by.
Normally I’m prefer something that doesn’t tie me down too much, but I’m commited and want to see results. So, while I have and like the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds program, I have found that my schedule (and kids) does not allow me to focus on exercise by myself for any extended period of time.
If it doesn’t involve the kids, then my tops is 10 to 15 minutes.
For months I’ve been following Scott Tousignant of Fat Loss Quickie Home Office Workouts, Craig Ballentyne of Turbulance Training, and Valerie Waters of Red Carpet Ready, so I’ve been thinking about which to choose. I really like what I’ve seen from each of these trainers, and they all have training products that don’t need much for equipment and can be done pretty much anywhere.
But in the end, I decided that for January I’ll be doing Scott Tousignant’s Fat Loss Quickie program. I bought this back in September when I first started following Scott’s Free 30 Day Home Office Challenge, but never fully followed it – just incorporated aspects of it.
The Fat Loss Quickie program is geared especially for those of us who are home all day, who are parents and running home-based businesses or are working from home. The work outs are short (10 minutes) and use little equipment (just an exercise ball, and something for weights).
But for me a major plus of doing this particular program right now is the fact that Scott includes motivational audio and video into the Fat Loss Quickie program, so I can work on not only my health goals, but also the mind-set changes that I need to make to meet both my health goals this year but also my business goals for the year.
I really feel the pull to start out the year strong – both for this big weight loss goal, but also for my business goals. And I’m hoping that by doing the Fat Loss Quickie program here in January, I’ll get a little extra edge, physcially and mentally for going forward this year.
So, the program is 30 days long. Today was day 1 for me. So 29 days left to go.
I’ll be blogging this for accountability reasons, though I’m not sure yet how often I’ll post updates, but I have already started taking notes for today. Feel free to post a comment giving me a virtual “kick in the rear” to help me stay accountable. In fact, please do.
2010 is a good year. It’s a year of breaking free, and getting healthy and fit.
Enjoy it!

P.S. If you’d like to get a taste of Scott’s Fat Loss Quickie program, I recommend trying out his FREE 30 Day Home Office Fitness Challenge videos and posts. I was just watching Day 21 again today, for some alternate exercises for people with knee problems. Totally worth the watching and hey…it’s free!
Great choice, Shannon! I like Scott’s workouts but prefer not to do them in my home office although that is what his program is all about so at this time, I’m not able to do them in my workout room. My mini computer cuts off the video. Looking forward to following your progress with it because it WILL produce results.
As for me, Jan. is getting back into the swing for me…I started the year out sick and haven’t been able to exercise. I sure hope tomorrow is the start of a great year for me. Next month (Feb.) is my rebounder challenge so I’m excited about announcing that on the blog.
Have a great week!

Angie, I’m so looking forward to your rebounder challenge in February. I’m hoping to set aside enough money to buy a rebounder before hand so I can participate too.
I’m two days into Scott’s Fat Loss Quickie program now, and I feel better, which is great. But you should have seen me rolling off the ball this afternoon trying to figure out how to balance side crunches on the ball. My daughter thought it was sooo funny! Glad she didn’t have a video camera:)
Enjoy your week!
