I HATE excercise!!! Help!!!
| Thu, 04-27-2006 - 1:50am |
Ugh! I loath it! I get so bored taking walks and jogging.... I don't mind the gym but I don't always have the time to go to the gym. I really need to find some kind of something to do that I can tolerate.
I do the Billy's bootcamps.... they drive me crazy. They do nothing but make my arms sore and I don't have the room in here for all that leaping back and forth kicking stuff. I damn near punched out my cat doing some crazy tae bo stunt.
I try to run... but with boobs that are a size F.... it is not happening real well. So, I walk which goes better but my ankles burn really bad from an accident I had as a child that resulted in broken ankles and physical therapy...lol. Besides.... I am so bored!!!
I'd have more sex to burn calories, but I do not want to risk getting pregnant right now....lol. Even on birth control, I don't feel safe.
Help!!! I need motivation!!! Or some ideas of things to do that don't suck all that bad and burn mad calories. Anybody have any ideas?

well other than sex.. what kind of things do you enjoy doing? if you think walking and jogging are boring.. then it's not something you're going to stick to.. unless you find something like the ipod or a buddy to keep you motivated.
what do you like about the gym.. doing something other than walking or jogging? the socialzation? checkin out the hot guys?
some of the at home activities I try and like ..
riding a bike
dancing
yoga
goin places like the zoo, park, trekkin around the city.. takin pictures.. hangin with my crew.
mowing the lawn (well I don't like it, but it needs to get done and its definitely a workout)
playing with the kids.. not mine.. i don't have any.. but I have a bunch of neices and nephews that have way too much energy for their own good.
hope it helps! and welcome to the board
My First 10% of Body Weight
well, since I am having a hard time motivating myself to do this - I don't know if I should even post. However - here are my ideas that you might like.
Get one of those dance mats that hook into the playstation or gamecube - where it tells you were to step - fun and if you have kids - they love to play too and make a contest out of it. Also- The lord of the rings has this video game you plug into the TV - that is a sword fight. - holy cow~!!! I played that with ds and my arms burned for 20 minutes afterward :)
You know.. I should follow my own advice, cause ds and I really did have a good time with that lord of the rings thing. lol.
Welcome to the board! I hate to exercise as well and I recently started non-formal exercise and I think it's working. I am even looking into formal exercise right now (who knew LOL). Here's a few stuff:
* If you have kids, go to the park. I burn about 500 calories by playing 2 hours with my son in the park (active play, no sitting down). Plus it's great bonding so I'm killing 2 birds with 1 stone LOL
* Clean the house. There's always something to be done around the house. Clean those bathrooms, polish the floor, put some arm into it. Sweep the entire house (that's a killer workout)
* You can set a stationary bike in front of the TV and keep going with your favorite show. This will not make you feel bored and it's definitely better than staring at the clock.
* Did you try the WATP tapes? A lot of people swear by them.
