  • That's another thing... going to the gym for the mindless activity of lifting a weight to put it back down right where you got it, accomplishing nothing with the time... that doesn't thrill me... but going out on the property and lifting rocks from the spots we don't want them and putting them in the low spots / sinkhole that just opened up, well I'm accomplishing more and I can go a lot longer lifting those because of the "point" of the "exercise" as opposed to the gym and its static scenery... lug pails of water to the garden instead of using the hose, walk around the neighbourhood and do a ditch clean-up... beautify your area and get the fresh air and workout of the bending and picking....

    turn it into a real activity.. I don't have a wood-stove here in the city but I'm tempted to get a load or two of logs to split as firewood, bagging it... well just something for me anyway, but workout doesn't have to be unproductive time(it's not if you count the bettering of your body) just find something that makes it worth doing for you.

    i do a lot of excersise type activity at work as i work in care, like hoisting but never really thought of it as exercise before

    I was the same way, and then I found running. I seriously long for it on the days I don't run. As for exercising from the couch, there is the thigh master, lol.

    Think about your favorite show and make a workout game out of it:

    The Simpsons

    When Homer mentions booze: 20 lunges
    Every time you see Bart's skateboard: 10 jumping jacks

    Etc.

    If you're creative like me this can make a fun 30 minutes!

    (Oh and on the weekends feel free to turn it into a drinking game instead :D)

    hula hoop is a great workout. You can also borrow workout dvds from your library.

    I wear an HRM during sex! Your on the couch...I got an Hrm.....I'm a guy......your a girl...no brainer!
  • First of all saying you hate it, is going to mentally make you hate it more......so stop thinking that way. Secondly stop being lazy, get up and do something. If you were actually serious about losing weight you would make the effort.
