I’m here to tell you that including exercise as a part of your diet can be very dramatic but at the same time I ask you to save the drama for your mama. The words exercise and excuse both start with an “e” but they won’t give you the same results. If you are anything like me you hate the pain of exercise, but as it has been so eloquently stated in the past, “No pain; no gain.” In the weight loss arena pain equals gain because the pain of exercise can gain you a loss, weight loss that is.
Exercise is vital part of a weight loss program and living a healthy life but it isn’t easy. The hardest part is getting started and the second hardest part is keeping it up. Exercise not only improves your health but it is a great weight loss aid helping you to burn off the calories that want so badly to become another pound of fat on your body. You need to develop a mental vendetta against fat accumulation. When you exercise you go to war against calories that have a sole purpose of making you gain weight.
I know it is difficult to get in a regular exercise routine but it doesn’t have to be drama. All you need to do is to find easy ways to insert life-changing, fat-altering exercise into your daily or weekly routine. This can be a very dramatic change but the key is to not overdramatize it. If you already exercise on a regular basis that is great, and if you increase your exercise it can help you lose more weight by burning additional fat.
Here are some ways to start exercising without the drama and to increase exercise for those who already have a regular exercise plan:
- Use regular everyday activities like climbing stairs to get exercise. If you live in a two story house make it a point to go up and down the stairs a certain amount of times.
- When you go to work or school, park far away from the building so you will get some additional exercise by walking.
- When you get home in the evening, make it a point to take a few laps around the block. If you have kids involve them and take them on the walk with you. Don’t procrastinate but do this as soon as you get home while you still have energy.
- If you work or go to school near a Wal-Mart or other large store pack a pair of tennis shoes with you to work or school and on your break or lunch hour put the tennis on and walk the large isles and outer perimeters of the isles inside the store for 30 minutes to burn calories that will help you lose weight.
- Try doing small amounts of exercise throughout the day like ten sit-ups or leg-lifts at a time.
- Get a real bike and ride it. It is a lot more fun than an exercise bike and will get you some fresh air and fun at the same time.
Regardless of what your lifestyle is, there is a way to incorporate exercise in an easy way that will not add drama to your life. Sometimes we get so caught up in the drama of exercise we simply don’t do it when it can simply benefit us.
