So, you want to lose weight but you hate exercising. You especially hate the thought of having to drag yourself down to a “hardass” gym at stupid o’clock in the morning for a session that you hate, or worse still might be the thought of having to go out “in public”, “in your tracksuit” to run the streets near to your house, sweating all the way until you fall back in the front or back door 20 minutes later. Ugh! You hate exercise!

Or, do you?

Well maybe, just maybe, it’s not exactly exercise you hate as much as it is the specific type of exercise that you hate.

Consider this.

You know your body is a finely tuned and complex organism.

You know that in order to keep it running smoothly, that there are certain things it needs. Good diet. Nutrients to give you energy. Sunlight. Water. Movement. (Regular movement of muscles limbs to burn off calories)

Sometimes we mix up the idea of movement with exercise. Or worse still we constrain ourselves to the idea that exercise is only done in a gym or in your tracksuit. It is done there. Yes. But it is also so much more beyond that.

Exercise doesn’t have to be running the streets or sweating it out at the gym. It can be. This is useful exercise that does tend to give quicker results, but if you are the type of person that scoffs at the idea of the gym or wouldn’t be seen dead in you tracksuit pounding the local streets, you don’t have to be restricted any longer.

There are so many ways to exercise. And it can be so much fun. When you really think about it, exercise and exercising to maintain fitness is all about movement of the body. Getting your limbs, joints, muscles and bones all working in together in perfect harmony. This is what you need. On a regular basis.

With this in mind I have decided to create a list of all the exercise options you have available to you, whether you have time or not, whether you have kids to look after or not, whether you have money or not. Some things that you may already be doing and some things you may not have thought of yet. (A few of which are certainly worth doing!)

Some are enjoyable and some are…… let’s just say they’re best seen as gentle opportunities every day to be more active. Have a read through and see what jumps out at you. Notice those activities that you can see working for you and also notice all the “low hanging fruit”, the easy ways you can get exercise done.
