When it comes to exercise, what keeps me motivated is setting a goal - like completing a 5K race or charity walk, and then progressing toward that goal day-by-day. That's why I like walking programs, like the ones you can find on www.wellmark.com/walkingworks. I can see at a glance my exercise challenge for the day, and what I'll need to accomplish for the week. This helps me plan my workout schedule around work, school, and family. And there's nothing I love more than crossing off each workout as I complete it.
Besides the walking plans on http://www.wellmark.com/, there's many walking workouts to check out online. These are links to a couple of my favorites, because they helped me go from walking to running my first 5K.
