Exercise is NOT My Friend
Ok, that’s not true. Exercise is good for everyone… yes, yes… that’s true enough. Then WHY do I hate it so much? Why would I rather sit on the couch and knit than get my butt to the gym and in the pool? Is it the draining sensation of being around other people? Fear of judgment? Or perhaps my utter hatred of heat and being hot? Yes, I do feel better (much better actually) after I exercise. Yes, I understand its value and worth. Not just physically, but mentally too. I actually have ample time for once to get myself to gym and swim, take a class, or get on one of the machines. I would even go so far as to say I LIKE my gym… so what’s my problem!? I’m not really sure, but I’d love to hear some feedback, tips, tricks, motivators and just what works for you in general when it comes to putting one foot in front of the other to exercise. I’ll be walking a 5K with friends to support Juvenile Diabetes Research and would love not to embarrass myself TOO bad. 4 comments from 3 users

Make an exercise buddy! I'm far more likely to get out there moving if someone is waiting for me. Plus, it makes it a social thing as well as an exercise thing.

Good tip! I do go to the same gym as a girlfriend of mine. All my other friends work full time though and I can't go in the evening. I did go for a swim after posting this. Yay me!

Doing something you actually like always helps :). Good music does too. And a friend you can chat with as you go....I have decided to take up hiking. After I had to walk up some stairs from the beach last week and almost DIED by the time I got back to the top, I realized how out of shape I am. I bought a book of short hikes, and one about hiking with your dog. The kids are along for the ride :). Love your new pictures! Greetings Heike posted by

Great tips Heike! Thanks so much for the ideas (I especially love the music one.) Thanks for the suggestions. Good to hear from you again.
