Default Re: When do you start to exercise on induction...if at all

I totally agree with Sunny.

I was so miserably out of shape when I started Atkins in January 2002, it wasn't even funny. But, after reading the book (especially the part where he said "exercise is non-negotiable"), I started walking 1.5 miles a day, 7 days a week. The weight fell off. I wasn't walking fast, just persistently and consistently.

Now, 7+ years later and in lifetime maintenance at age 53, I am a bonafide runner, having run over 8,000 training miles since November 2003, including two full 26.2 mile marathons. Proof positive that you can accomplish the seemingly impossible with a little perseverence!

YOU CAN DO IT!
