Any other lazy people?

I used to be, then I found a workout I really enjoyed. That's the biggest piece of advice I can give you. Doesn't matter if it's dancing, hiking, swimming, playing softball, or whatever. Find an activity you enjoy doing and you'll do it more often.

I'm pretty lazy. I found a workout I enjoy and now it's become part of my life. There's no "missing a workout" unless I'm really sick. Find something you love.

I just started and I feel so lazy all the time... I feel this way due to an unhealthy lifestyle. I found a video on YouTube called Zumba dance workout fitness for beginners step by step by just new. It was simple enough for me to follow and got me up.... I find if someone knows that I need to workout I'm more apt as long as they ask me about my journey to feel better about myself. Good luck! Friend me if you want.

Oh me too trust me! I literally had to force myself to try a workout (my problem is always the first step) and after that workout I enjoy them every time I do. Not sure if it makes sense but take that first (or next) step and try it out and try other types of course too! You never know, you may like it.

Problem with me is that there's no heart rate increasing activity I enjoy. So I don't know how I'm going to stay on this regimen, of HIIT/strength I'm on.

I treat and dread it like punishment, very important and necessary punishment.

I could never spend two hours at the gym. Even an hour would be pushing it. I get bored easily. What works for me is short workout dvd's like Zumba and 30DS. 20-30 minutes long. Theres a bunch of stuff on youtube as well. Something is better than nothing. As for getting motivated to turn on the dvd... it helps if I do it in the morning. Get it out the way and be done with it.

I'm currently using spotebi beginner workout plan. It's four weeks and only working out 3 times a week.(workouts are 30 minutes) I just started and I'm in very bad shape so I just take it slow and when my laziness kicks in I just remind myself "I hate doing dishes but I still do them" and just work out. During my workout I remind myself that its ok it's taking me longer to do it and that taking breaks is ok and as long as I get through my work out I'm good. Hope this helps!

OOOH I LOVE THIS POST!!!!
I am not really lazy, I love physical work, give me an outside job to do, paint the house, rake the yard, anything physical, but EXERCISE, YUK, I do kind of enjoy Zumba but getting myself started is a big problem.

If you can find an activity that seems more "productive" (i guess that is the right word) that also burns calories it doesn't feel so much like exercise.

Dogs are great, they need long walks, I can do 4 miles a day easily walking the dog, but by myself it would never happen,

Forget what mom told you about being efficient, Make 4 trips up those stairs to put away laundry instead of one, Don't Vacuum the floor, sweep it, (then vacuum if it still needs it)

don't use a riding mower with a bag to pick up debris, PUSH then Rake

strap on some ankle weights so that every step you take in a normal day is a couple lbs heavier

Quit looking for the close parking spaces, park as far away from the store or office as you can

Don't drive through the car wash, get out the water hose and do it yourself,
Follow with a good hand waxing (that's a real work-out)

Add some energy and zip to your romantic encounters

just think about the little things you do every day and instead of doing it the simple and efficient way, find a way to make it utilize a little more energy to accomplish the same task.

This is the only thing that works for me, Granted it is not like a regimented exercise program, and you really can't log the calories, but trust me it is better than sitting around saying "ill exercise tomorrow"

I just keep thinking of more things to add to the list.... get up and walk over to your boss or colleague to ask a question instead of hitting speed dial.

take the stairs not the elevator,

even when you are just relaxing and watching TV, kick your feet, do leg lifts, or lift small hand weights

Best watching TV exercise ever, its just toooo easy just tighten and loosen your stomach muscles
its kind of like a really low impact sit up. If you think it doesn't work just try doing it through an entire 30 minute sit-com.. ( you will feel it)

don't have the bag boy load your groceries into the car do it yourself

when unloading groceries, don't carry as many bags as you can in 1 trip,.. take one or 2 bags at a time, make more trips to and from the car.

all of this seems so simple, but over a days time you would be amazed how many calories you could burn, there is a website.. I cant remember which one it is, that counts calories for things like this..https://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc.. you simply input your gender, height and weight, then choose an activity, enter approximate number of minutes for that activity, and it will tell you approximately how many calories you burned,

just for fun, i entered 20 minutes cooking, 10 minutes ironing, 10 minutes unloading car, 10 minutes mopping and 20 minutes of sex that came up to 424 calories.. for 80 minutes of daily activity that you would't even notice that is more calories than a boring 60 minute walk on a treadmill ( at 3mph which is average walking speed)

Give me the daily activities any day

Again the calculation will not be exact, it depends on how vigorously you approach each activity, your burn could be a little more or less, but it still gives you a number that you can track and be fairly close

I see some people mentioning the Zombies Run app...I got as far as downloading it. I haven't put on a real pair of sneakers to do cardio since last May probably. I really do want to try this app though.

It's not about being lazy, it's about setting up a habit.

My habit now is to drink my pre-workout on the way home from work and go straight to gym. Anyone who has ever drank pre-workout knows you can't *kitten* around after you drink it, you NEED to work out.

After doing that for a couple weeks, now I can't help but go to the gym right after work.

So set up a habit, and laziness will never enter the frame.

I'm lazy AF lol
