Answer 1

try parking far away from your car to have a little extra walk

Answer 2

The treadmill will help even though it's not quite the same resistance as running normally. You might also want to do some normal leg exercises/stretches to make sure that blood is getting to your legs and the muscles are still being used. If you go too long w/o any type of workout the muscles can start to constrict and make your legs feel tight.

Answer 3

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

Answer 4

Blizzard here too - I know the feeling because I havent been able to run either.

Anyway, I would run on the treadmill to prepare - it doesnt feel the same as running on the ground, but it is running, and it is surely better than nothing.

Answer 5

You should go get a membership to a nearby gym, or just bike ride and go jogging.

Answer 6

I would recommend KARATE~! or YOGA~!
