Exercise Tips For Those Who Don't Want to ExerciseBy Thomas Maras

I never really liked to exercise which is probably why I was overweight. I avoided exercise. I wasn't especially and particulary fond of going to a gym and have people watch me sweat. I was always thinking they would laugh at the fat or adipose tissue guy trying to exercise. My father once answered the question of What type of exercise do you do? at a party with "As Little as Possible" which is pretty much what my family view was on exercise. That all changed when I got serious about losing weight. I had high cholesterol, gout, and I was working on type 2 diabetes. I went on the South Beach Diet and lost 45 pounds in six months and I have been able to keep it off for 20 months. I was able to get rid of my medical problems and keep the weight off by of all things exercising.

Well I have a secret, "YOU CAN EXERCISE WITHOUT GOING TO THE GYM OR BUYING ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY ARE TRYING TO SELL YOU ON TV". My exercise plan in a nutshell is to instill it in your daily life. If you can exercise 30 minutes a day you can make a significant impact on your health and weight loss. I actually felt like exercising after I lost my first 20 pounds because I felt so much better and because I wanted to lose more weight. What I did is change some basic ways of doing things. I stopped taking elevators and took the stairs. Each and every day I have to go up three floors to get to my office. Why not just take the steps? After I started taking the steps to my office rather than the lift I decided it was a good way to do things so I started taking the steps everywhere. I spend at least 30 minutes a day walking up steps.

My next idea was to park a ways from my office so I had to walk longer to get to my building. I actually started doing this because I had a new car and I didn'twant anyone to bang it with their door. I actually found out that I was getting to my office quicker by walking and climbing fast rather than searching for the closest parking spot and then taking the elevator. I then started doing this on the weekends when I went to the store. I really think the combination of those two changes I was able to lose the last 10 pounds.

My next change was I started walking our dog longer distances. She would surely enjoy it and it would be good for me. The funny thing was we had picked a dog or canine based on we wanted a breed that didn't want to exercise very much. Our dog was not sure about this extra walking. A couple of times I had to carry her home because she got tired from our walk. It was a pretty interesting sight. A man carrying his dog home. I ending up reducing the walks and building up her endurance so she could walk farther. I do think she is healthier because of it even if she is not quite sure about it.

The big payoff is when people started coming up and telling me how good I looked. I felt good too and I was happy to get rid of the medical problems.

There is very small risk of injury, compared to almost any other form of exercise. It is low impact, making it easy on the joints and skeletal system.

No special equipment is required. With the right shoes you are ready to begin your exercise routine.

If the weather is not ideal, such as rain, extreme heat, or other inclement weather, you can simply walk around in your house.

You can do it throughout the day by simply parking further away from your destination or taking a break from your daily routine and taking a twenty or thirty minute walk.
