I keep track of the miles I put on my shoes, and save them only for running. (Runner's World has a great online log you can use.) That creates a lot of motivation for me. Other clothing I consider essential is a good pair of socks and running shorts that won't chafe and/or slow you down. And speaking of chafing...ahem...two words: Body Glide.Cottonistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478364866100935339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21062290.post-43533680733211231142010-06-09T17:04:48.889-07:002010-06-09T17:04:48.889-07:00This is not about gear.

(I don't think gear makes or breaks me, but good shoes are nice and I really enjoy my exercise pants fitting me a certain way, so I have three pair that I really like.)<br /><br />If you are like me at all you might enjoy the camaraderie of a class a few times a week. It has made all the difference in my hate to exercise world. I find a teacher I really like and can make a connection with and then I show up to the class because I know she will encourage me and I will feel guilty not being there for her class. Weird, I know, but it totally motivates me. Also, patience is essential. It took me 6 months before I finally stared seeing actual results. I've been hanging on to those 12 pound I wanted to lose until just recently and I finally lost 6 of them because I switched to interval training instead of just cardio. Building muscle is essential. I like the podcast suggestion and the wii fit system seems pretty cool. I would be especially motivated by a contest with a friend or something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21062290.post-61592527728479378662010-06-09T09:54:08.823-07:002010-06-09T09:54:08.823-07:00wiifit! it was awesome when j and i would have con...wiifit! it was awesome when j and i would have contests.cara.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16121050946658225167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21062290.post-29220339310267575502010-06-09T06:17:09.608-07:002010-06-09T06:17:09.608-07:00The secret to my exercise right now?

Between Peter Segal, Ira Glass and Dan Savage, I've got 3 hours of brand new material each week, plus seemingly infinite amounts in the archives. I feel informed on a variety of topics as I chug around the neighborhood.<br /><br />I think your original question was more about clothing and not about entertainment.

Plus the kids get a mini-basketball and work out right along side us in our tiny living room. It's awesome!emily*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05816856791954179931noreply@blogger.com
