Adding exercise into your daily routine

First of all i'll introduce myself, im Mr Lazy! I do P90X intermitently and strength training now and then but im not committed to it for any large length of time. I've got the hang of the diet, i never eat over maintenance and often eat under to lose but I could never get my rear end into gear! I really hate the thought of going out and exercising for a particular purpose even though that purpose is a good one.

Well now i've finally cracked it. I sneaked exercise into my every day activities and only do stuff I enjoy!

First off I went back to playing basketball, its an unbelievable burn and I play once a week. Thats my fun activity and I look forward to it each time.

Secondly I took a second job that was outdoors and enjoyable. My full time job is in an office, its fairly dull and I love being outdoors so once a week I marshall at my local paintball field for teams playing woodsball. This basically involves running around in the woods for 7 hours! I havent worked out the burn accurately but its up there close to 1500 for the day.

Thirdly I take the stairs wherever I go. Its a small personal challenge i've started to love. Each day at work I climb 3 flights at least 3 times per day.

The last one is my latest one. I normally drive 3 miles to someones house who then drives us into work. It cuts fuel costs massively but for me it meant I had a car that would sit there unused most of the day and i'd still be paying insurance and tax. Now I go on my bike every single morning whether its snowing, raining or sunshine. Thats 6 miles 5 days a week that I dont even notice!

So yeah, I dont like the gym but i've managed to save tons of money and get a good workout by altering my daily routine. Perhaps you can too?
