All good recommendations.

Key to me is consistency (duh), but you've got to establish a pattern of behavior. You really have to get selfish about your body.

I get up at 0600 everyday. One cup of coffee. Check email on the iphone, surf for 10 minutes or so then head downstairs.

Turn on the TV, weather then Imus. Bike for 40 minutes. I alternate heart rate and hills each day. I'll also take the mountain bike out once a week or so.

If the weather sucks, I have an elliptical. 20 minutes. If the weather is good, I walk/jog two miles with weights. I stop a lot and stretch, squat, etc.

Go to work.

I do this six days a week.

I played a lot of sports, was hurt a few times, hit by a car in college and generally have a lot of miles on the airframe. Sticking with the routine helps, even when I travel on business.

One last thing. I bought my son a book titled 'Born to Run'. You can look it up but the key was the author redefined the WAY I run. It works. Even with my hip I'm up to jogging half the two miles and plan on extending the total distance of my workout.

Good luck!

Get in a rhythm with whatever set/series of exercising works for you: be selfish about it.
