Get Fit By Having Fun: The Best Alternative Ways To Shape Up When You"re Desperate
Some days you are just motivated to exercise. You can do the 20 crunches and those 15 push ups and still have enough strength to do your daily 3-mile jog around the parnk. And these days couldn't be any better. The sun is shining on your face, the wind seems to urge you forward and the music in your ears couldn't be any more motivating. Talk about perfect exercise conditions!
But sometimes you just feel like a big lump of fat that can't get yourself up to face the fitness world. On these days the cheeseburger seems a much better load to carry than any barbell the gym could throw at you. And when you're in these lazy, binging days, you're definitely in no mood to exercise. A food addiction is a really difficult thing to overcome and it usually comes in conjunction with a desire to NOT exercise. How do you get yourself away from all that fatty food and back in the groove?
Here are a few suggestions for the absolutely desperate:
l Listen closely to the dinner table discussions: It could be your dad talking politics or your mom complaining about the broken washing machine, but really bad dinner table talk can turn anyone off from a meal. And that can be used to your advantage! The less time you have to spend at the dinner table, the better it is for your weight loss program!
l Go to the library: This may be the weirdest sounding piece of advice that you can give to someone who wants to lose weight but if you are a book addict that severely wants to lose weight, then the library could be the perfect complement to your diet. When you're in the library you should always remember to use the stairs to get to those hard-to-reach floors and always get a book using a climber if you can. All this exercise will make you thinner in no time! And if you really have geeky tendencies, chances are getting engrossed in your favorite books will distract you from eating.
l Get a dog: And if you really want to shed those pounds, get a really big working or sporting dog! Watch as your pooch drags you around the village and to your physical fitness. You can do a lot more with the more athletic dogs such as play baseball, frisbee, or racing with them. You can have a beloved companion and training partner all in one.
