JUST FOR TODAY:  Try 20 minutes of activity.  This is a big step towards achieving your weight loss or recovery goals.

20 minutes of activity might seem like A LOT to some of you.  If so, then try to be active for just 5 minutes and see how you feel.  You might realize that you can continue your activity for another 5, 10 or 15 minutes.  Walking is the easiest way to get started, but choose an activity that you enjoy.  On the flip side, 20 minutes of activity might seem like TOO LITTLE.  If you are already active on a regular basis, then continue with your exercise regime.  However, if your regime is too regimented – and you force yourself to workout for hours or feel guilty if you miss a day – then try to cut back a little.  Fitness involves balance with activity – not too little, not too much.  Trust your intuition to find that balance for yourself.  Be active just 20 minutes today and see how you feel!
