I am committed to working out at the gym at least 4 days a week and after ski season I will take my new road bike out daily! I already have bike riding buddies to help me along in this sport!

I wanted to thank t9 and its family of amazing women all over the country for being such a tremendous source of inspiration to me. The stories & images of real women with very busy lives who are also amazing athletes keeps me moving when the craziness of my life threatens to take over.

Thank you so much for being much more than a company that sells great clothes!

I made my commitment on September 16, 2009. I’m on a two-year journey to get into the best shape of my life by the time I turn 50. I plan to celebrate the big 5 – 0 by running a marathon.

I’ve never been an athlete. Picked last in P.E., etc. so I’ve had a kind of a negative attitude about exercise. My daughter has inspired me to begin running. I participated in the Houston Marathon/ElPaso Energy 5K yesterday, and finished **not last** lol. Crossing that finish line felt great. I’m 54, and feel I have a lot of good years ahead of me.

I am going to commit to 20 minutes of exercise a day. it seems doable, but then when i get out there and get goin’, it’s almost always more than 20 minutes. this is a way to make it seem easy, and doable. “twenty minutes?! I can do that! piece o’ cake!”

I am turning 49 this year – last year I did my first of 5 cycling centuries! I even completed the STp (Seattle to Portland Ride) in a total of 13 hours on the bike (took 2 days). This year, I am training to be one of 10% of all the women who do this ride in 1 day – that is 229 miles in the saddle! I am motivated by my strength and my peace of mind! and these days – we really need peace!

I write my excercise time down in my daytimmer, just like I would any other appointment. If I can keep my Dr’s or hair appointment, then I can keep my excercise appointments. It works! it really works!!!!!!!!!!

This year, will be my healthiest yet. Not only will I continue my 4:45 AM workouts (the only time it fits in my busy schedule), but I will strive to help those around me achieve their fitness goals. I will be a healthy role model for my children, not only in diet and activities, but in spiritual and humanitarian ways as well. And I will cherish every fleeting moment with them for they are growing so fast. Living healthy is my way of life, I want it to be theirs as well.

Instead of the excuse that I can’t exercise because I have to do x, y or z I try to say I can’t do x, y or z because it’s a priority for me to exercise. Seems to work for me — at 49 I am still freakishly flexible.

My commitment is to spend one hour outdoors each day. Once you are out there you can’t help but move around and enjoy the day.
I didn’t have to think about this when the kids were small and we lived in Berkeley, or even when we moved to Manhattan where we spent lots of time outdoors walking to and fro. But, now that we have moved to the suburbs of NYC, I notice that it is easy to go whole days without spending meaningful time outdoors – just to and from the car. So now – with my new commitment – I walk to the gym and to town and on the weekends, we go for walks as a family just for fun. All good.
