Exercise & Low Carb Diets

Go here:

http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html

click on workouts, pick beginner, full body, 3x per week. No fuss, no muss.

Couple that will some walking, swimming, or stationary bike, or whatever you
like.

Follow your diet (the main thing) and stick to your workout routine.

Oh, don't let the fact that the site is written by a woman bother you...the
workouts are the same no matter if you're a man or a woman. You may need to
spend some time learning the movements and getting your form down, and
finding the right weight range for the various movements. one or two
sessions with a good trainer can aid you in getting form down, or an
advanced training buddy, or a good book.

When I can't get to the gym I have a simple home routine I do. I do three
sets of thirty sit ups, three sets of thiry push ups, and run a mile or do
about 20 minutes on the bike. The whole thing take very little time
relatively speaking (about an hour or less) and I find it's a nice pick me
up when I can't get to the gym.

Do bodyweight exercises, like pushups and pullups.

Thanks for the tips people. Thanks particularly for the reminders that
I don't have to be in the gym to exercise - there's that excuse blown!
