Health and Fitness Tip #33 - Excuse - Exercise is boring!

Exercise Excuse No. 4: 'Exercise Is Boring.'

UM YES it is, BUT only if you are doing something that doesn't interest you! Yes going to the gym can be VERY boring every day, especially if the only thing you are doing is the cardio machines. What do you love to do? If you like to dance, take a dancing class, do Zumba, or check out Shaun T's latest in home workout program, Cize. (Release this July) If you like to ride bike, then get outside, find some trails and get riding and if the weather is bad, find a cycling class to take that day!

 

Try inline skating, dancing, or gardening. Join a sports league. Or go dancing. There's an exercise for everyone. . It doesn't have to be unpleasant and / or boring!!!

If it makes exercise more enjoyable for you, it's OK to watch TV or read while you're on the exercise bike or treadmill, as long as your workout is still challenging.

Get some friends to go with you, or join a group. And every once in a while, try something totally new. Mix it up so you don't get bored.

Whatever you do, don't let boring be an excuse. Get out there and try new things. Find that activity you fall in love with or multiple activities that you enjoy so you are always keeping it spicy!
