After 9 months of not moving a single muscle, I tried to run. That was 2 days ago, I think. I almost gave up exercising because everything hurt so badly. Not even my favorite tae-bo cardio work-out went good. Yesterday evening, I was tired after 5 minutes and already knowing I had only two options: keep working and pushing myself, though with every passing minute it all seemed in vain, or drop out my weight loss battle and go eat some cake my mom cooked.

I followed my mom’s invitation and took a good piece of cake, came back to my computer and started wandering on youtube, since it was clear I was not to continue pushing myself. That’s when I found: this. There are four videos of 40 minutes of walking/marching/moving nonetheless. No need to say, I got up, I took the piece of cake back to it’s mother - the cake itself, I worked out and went happily to sleep. 

Now, I don’t know how effective is this. In comparison with a full cardio work-out, I don’t think the number of calorie loss is that big, though i sweat a lot, but it helped me move my legs, my arms, my muscles without a tremendous, painful effort. It’s more than sitting in front of my computer, tugging in cake.
