HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING INTO A WORKOUT? HAVE FUN THIS YEAR!
by G. Cornwall
FUN is huge when it comes to working
out for the first time. Gaining discipline is very
hard at the beginning but you'll get it if you find
that fitness is fun! Here's a few things to try!
- In-line skating! I've already started even though it's still cold weather outside! If the ground is bare it's time to in-line!
- Swimming is a very great workout to trim you down and create lean muscle. You can do it indoors or out doors. Grab your goggles it lap time!
- Yoga has taken the fitness world by storm! Join a gym and start yoga! Hummmmm!!
- If you're already at a gym get a schedule and find other classes to take, hip hop, Pilates, belly dancing! Find something great that you'll enjoy. One, two step!
- Another idea is to find a fitness partner, if you don't have a friend that can hold their own, go to the gym and meet one! Find a yoga partner! If you find someone already at the gym it will encourage you to go, they'll notice you're not there when you skip out, (and you will skip out) and you'll notice when they're not there. It's a great idea! I have multiple partners to yell at me when I miss a day! And BAM I'm there the next day or the next hour!
- Take your dog for a walk and keep your heart rate up. If you don't have a dog, bring your girl or guy! Or just a friend. Causes great conversation, watch the time fly by.
- If you're really up for a time to yourself, and clearing your mind take a walk by yourself. In your nose, out your mouth, it's time to be a sexy rose. (laugh out loud)
- Joining something in your community is a good idea, or find a few friends to meet up every Friday for a volleyball game. Make sure you're number is low, three on three, a way better workout, but not too hard. However you might have a few spurts of running or diving for the ball! Dive away those calories. Or bump them away...Have fun! Watch your waist shrink!
- Tennis!! Soccer!! Football!! Have fun this year!! Slim down this year! Enjoy summer even more this year!
- Jump rope in the park. Don't worry you'll see me out there doing it too!! Don't be ashamed boys and girls!
- Go for a bike ride with your friends, your kids, or yourself. Imagine the legs you'll have after going up those hills!!!
In conclusion, outdoor fitness can make those extra pounds vanish. Everyone gains pounds in December and January (good o' Christmas, after that we inhale chocolate for all the other holidays following) We add more and more weight each year. It's easy to gain a whole 10 pounds. Lets stop this weight gain!! Summer's here, it's a good time!! One hour a day! That's all I ask! That's all you need! One hour of exercise! Know your limits, don't push yourself too much but still remember, the harder you work!! The better you'll look!
