Exercise is NON Negotiable....

[Minofex1]

Lisa, thanks for this awesome thread. I am definitely on the side of exercise being non-negotiable. There is not one successful diet or eating plan that does not recommend a reasonable exercise regimen. For those attempting to do Atkins without exercising, you are delaying the benefits of this WOL.

Exercising will prevent you from having too much excess skin, which can be unsightly. You can lose weight and not have to deal with excess skin. Exercising can do this. Another aspect to exercise involves the building of muscle promoting fat loss. This can lead to breaking up episodes of constipation, which can occur. You activity level can aide you in the weight loss process, if only you begin!

Being active and exercising can consist of simply raking the lawn, walking through your neighborhood or even taking the stairs. Please, please try to start exercising!! The sooner you start, the further along you will be. You can do it!

I exercise on a consistent basis including cardio and strength training. During induction, I was able to lose 15 lbs.; this helped to keep me motivated. Everyone should consider the benefits of exercising and know that you can start small to make it grow into an awesome advantage for your life.

You are so right. I am on day 2 of the induction and I am starting to have more energy. I like excercising it is just staying consistant. I will do it for one week then stop for 2 so now that I have decided to do atkins I want to do everything right this time. Thank you for pointing it out and giving me the kick in the but to start moving again. Have a super day.

Oh, that's an awesome challenge and very doable. I'm in! I may be dragging my fanny low to the ground that I'll need a wagon to haul over the speed bumps of life afterwards, but I'm in.
