I?M Allergic To Exercise?.
No really I am. I have to be otherwise I would enjoy it, right?
I truly hate exercising! I’ve never liked going to the gym, it’s boring. I don’t like getting all hot and sweaty, out of breath; heart beating like it will explode out of my chest. Hated PE in school, I was always the last kid picked for the team….
But one of the necessities for successful weight loss is exercise regularly. How do I accomplish this?
I started simple by:
-
Parking at the back of the parking lots
-
Turning on some music and dancing around my house. (Dogs got a kick out of this; they thought it was play time.)
-
Took my dogs for walks around our property. (We live on acreage in the country.)
Then I bought an inexpensive exercise bike that folds up and sits in the corner of my living room (This way I see it every day). When I watch TV in the evenings I get on the bike and ride. I started doing 10 minutes and worked up to 30 minutes. Now I’m working on increasing the intensity (ride faster).
Next, I started moving more at work. I started using the bathroom on different floors (walking the stairs to the floors); and getting up from my desk a couple of times a day just to walk the stairs.
So here I am still don’t like exercising but I do move! I no longer use the elevator at work (and I’m on the 8th floor!) and I ride my bike 30 minutes 3-5 times a week.
It’s not a lot but as long as I’m doing something I’m seeing results.
