I think it is hard to determine what “all” individuals require. Obviously diet and daily activity play a part as well. Interesting…..

Kelly,
Quick question! My mom is wonderfuly amazing! Now that I’m married and out of the house I appreciate her so much more and want the best for her. We belong to a gym and my parent also, however, they don’t ever go (my dad does long walks but my mom hardly does anything active to stay in shape). My mom has been feeling down about herself lately (doesn’t like pics taken of her and doesn’t like how clothes fit etc.) b/c she’s feeling “fat”. She’s 5’4″ and could stand to loose a few pounds for her short frame but she’s not the motivated type. My dad and I try to encourage her to go for walks, come to the gym with me, ride a bike, etc but she always declines the offer. Sooo…
She’s such a hardworking mom I know she has a lot of stuff to do after work but how can I encourage her and motivate her to go to the gym or on walks (my dad even offered to get her a personal trainer to help keep her accountable but how can a trainer keep her accountable if her mind and body aren’t in it?) without being pushy and offending her? Since you are a trainer do you have any advice from your side of the spectrum? She just turned 55 and I know exercising would not only benefit her physically but also mentally! It would give her the energy she needs and the confidence! I want this so bad for her but I don’t want to keep encouraging her/bringing it up b/c I don’t want to turn her off completely! Help :)

(sorry for the long “quick” question!) lol

I saw an article on CNN about 30 minutes not being enought…though it was kindof common sense. Hope people don’t get discouraged by it though!
