is there anyone here who doesnt workout

I do not go to the gym, and I rarely have time, and also rarely have motivation to exercise. In winter I did some exercise shoveling everyday, but besides that I hardly did any exercise. I want to exercise but am not sure how to start. Any one else here who doesnt work out, and also anyone who has advice about this issue. Ive lost 20 lbs in 3 months with no exercise, but im scared my body wont really change untill I start to exercise regularly., so I want to start exercising but I dont how to really.

Hear hear! I've the same bad habit of not exercising. Good for you to still lose the weight. I've found a similar plateau without any exercise, so searched for ways to work it in to my "no time to exercise" schedule. I have two dogs, so I turn my nightly walks into nightly jogs. I read incessantly at home, so turned it into treadmill time ... whilst reading. I watch ~30 min of youtube each day and turned it into 30 min of squats/stretches during the videos.

You can turn any time into exercise time, except for sleepy time. Hope these ideas help.

Your best exercise is walking , walk and get some muscles on your legs while you enjoy the weather , you don't need to go to a gym , there are plenty workout routines that you can do at home with little to no equipment
you can also find whole routines on YouTube if you don't want to buy a DVD
I think I saw 30 days shred by Jillian Michael for like 10 bucks at walmart

I've lost 25 pounds in three months with absolutely no working out. It is really bad, but I despise exercising lol!

163lbs to 137lbs with only a deficit.

Have you ever seen the lady who is thin, can wear all the cool sizes etc. but when she walks away from you, she jiggles like jello? That's the difference between exercise and no exercise.

Personally I don't want to jiggle.

Depends on the person. Despite little exercise I am only 22% body fat which is on the low end of the healthy range. Everyone's body is built differently. Not everyone needs to spend hours at the gym to not jiggle.

Well said!

I don't work out - meaning I dont go to gyms or do any of that stuff at home either.

I do go walking and I do play table tennis.

I don't think I am too jiggly - if I am, too bad.

You can be active without going to the gym!
Walking, cycling, dancing, digging, gardening, carrying things... Yes shoveling is very good exercise! And there are loads of YouTube exercise videos too...
I don't go to the gym but I get loads of exercise, if you make it part of your life then it isn't a chore. Or find an activity you love like others have said. Cycling instead of driving is another good one. Stairs not elevators and so on.

I dont go to the gym but what I have found was Zumba on you tube. I started 4 weeks ago and while I didnt exercise before this I started only being able to do it for 3-5 mins, now just today I was able to do it for 30 mins. The best part I find is its more like daning then exercise, it makes it more fun that way. I have also looked up belly dancing, my friend does it and it also sounds like a great workout. Like others have said, just you tube anything you can think of and its probely on there. Good luck and have fun!

You don't need to exercise to lose weight. All you need is a calorie deficet.

The exercise is for health really.

BF% is defined by weight not exercise.

If you want to exercise great, choose the one(s) you will enjoy.

For me in January of last year I started with 20min walks or doing Wii Just dance for 20mins ( I was doing very low carb and didn't have the energy anymore than that)

I then moved onto bodyweight exercise along with the walking/dancing. I lost 25lbs in 3 months.

I was moved along to Jillian Michael's 30 day shred...and it knocked the inches off me and got me stronger.

I liked what that did for me so I moved to lifting weights....all at home.

Good places to look are fitnessblender.com and youtube or get videos from walmart (pretty cheap) or amazon etc.

the issue you will find is if you lose weight using a calorie deficet only you will lose muscle mass along with fat...which means you will get smaller and lighter but at what cost????

And yes as mentioned you can get to a low BF% just by diet but...for me I would rather weigh 153lbs, be at 20% BF and be strong...and firm and lean...not just lighter on the scale.

try the fitness blender program for a busy lifestyle it's ten dollars for an eight week program.

I don't have a gym membership, and even if I did I wouldn't have time to go. I work long hours and study at night, so my schedule is fairly limited. However, I do try to get a good long walk in at least once a week (usually on a weekend) and I often stretch for about ten minutes when I get up in the morning.

Other things you could do to up your daily activity could be super simple! Take stairs instead of an elevator. Park at the very back of the parking lot every time. Take the bus or the subway a stop shorter than where you need to get off. Combining lots of those little choices really add up

*edited for spelling*

I don't like "traditional" workouts either, though I will force myself to use my treadmill and weight bench on occasion. Now that it's nice out, I walk every night with my son, usually the long way to the park where we run around for nearly an hour. I'll also do stuff during commercials when I'm watching TV...squats, lunges, pushups, planks, tricep dips, front kicks, really anything I can do quietly and for 3-4 minutes straight to feel those muscles burning. I figure an average of 6 commercial breaks over the course of an hour-long show works out to be a good 20 minutes of activity. I also have a sit-on-my-butt job, so I try to find time throughout the day to get up and walk around my office or the building for a bit or do a couple quick squats at my desk. Basically, any movement is better than no movement. Start slow, find what you like and what fits into your life and go from there.
