If you’re anything like me, you wouldn’t consider exercising
your favorite pastime. In fact, some people downright hate exercising. However,
exercising is a crucial part of a healthy lifestyle, and without it you
definitely will not be able to lose weight. There are certain tips, however,
for learning to love exercising, even if you truly hate it.
First, try finding some exercises that you like to do. Of
course, you should work out all of your body, but if you absolutely hate doing
one kind of exercise, then look for another to take its place. You don’t have
to do crunches to strengthen your core muscles. You don’t have to do lunges to
work out your lower body. You don’t even have to run—you can replace it with cycling
or swimming. Find the exercise you like to do and your workout will seem more
enjoyable right away.
You can also find other activities you like to do and make
them work for your body. For example, if you like working on your garden, try
doing some exercising surrounding raking or mow your yard by hand. If you enjoy
the winter weather, you can try ice skating or sledding with friends. No matter
what you like to do, you can find ways to get some exercise. Thanks to the
introduction of the Wii and game like Dance Dance Revolution, you can even
combine video games and exercise.
Another great tip to liking exercise is to find a training
partner. When you work out together, you can help one another stay motivated,
even if you don’t absolutely love exercising. With a partner, you can have fun
as well, trying things like tennis or challenging one another to meet certain
goals. Trainers can also provide this for you, as well as show you new and fun
exercises to help you avoid getting bored or feeling overwhelmed at the gym.
Lastly, try taking some classes. Exercising classes are a
great way to meet new people, learn new exercises, stay motivated, and above
all, have fun. Most gyms offer low-cost or free exercise classes with
membership or you can check out options at your local community center.
Staying motivated if you hate exercising can be hard, but
set goals and don’t quit. You need to exercise as well as diet if you really
want to lose weight. Make exercise fun and it won’t seem like such a chore.
