additional motivation, community, or range of equipment. For me the secret has been what's called interval training, also called HIIT. It basically means alternating whatever exercise you're doing (jogging, running, aerobic, from mild (the 'rest' portion) to intense (as in out of breath) for say thirty seconds mild, thirty seconds intense. You get lots more benefit than a 'steady state' workout and in less time. Mainly, the intense portion kicks up your heart rate and creates a whole cascade of benefits for muscles, joints and overall health.

Oh, and I move the cookies to some high cupboard and forget about 'em most days.

Good luck.
