Carrie Luger Slayback’s short autobiographical piece in the L.A. Times is as inspirational as they come. Headed for size 12 at 36, she wears size 2 at age 66 Here’s how she did it: running.Here, from the L.A. Times are four tips to following her footsteps, so to speak.
1. Wake early enough for a half-hour workout on the street or treadmill, five to six days a week.
2. Ease into it gradually, but never give up.
3. Find a partner, if that helps you.
4. If you miss one day, get back. If you experience a muscle ache, walk
or ride a bike — but don’t stop moving for that half-hour before
breakfast.
