I think hiring a trainer is one of the best ways to go personally, but the reality is that hiring a qualified trainer is beyond the means of a lot of people. When I did 1-on-1 training, I charged $77 for a session, which is simply beyond what the majority of people can afford. I was at the high end of the scale for my area, but even $40 for a session is a lot for a big percentage of the population. <br>So, for those in that situation, anything in the list I gave is a better alternative than sitting on their ass because they can't afford a trainer.

Honestly I think reality t.v. has a huge impact on the way we think about exercise. Shows like the biggest loser make us think that if we bust our butt 6 hours a day doing things that are nearly impossible, that is the only way to lose weight. I seriously had this in my head for a long time. DUH! I know :)<br>Everyone just needs to find something they enjoy and be consistent. (you have some great ideas) No need to throw up a lung and quit your job to spend 6 hours a day working out. I totally agree with you!
