Do You Find Exercise Boring?
It is no secret that we all should exercise a lot more than we do right now. For most of us the grocery shopping is about the most exercise that we do all week. Yet exercise burns calories, helps to strengthen our bones and our heart and has a whole host of other health benefits, so why don’t more people do it?
The main problem I think people face is that they find exercise boring, after all who wants to keep doing something that is boring unless they really have to? It definitely doesn’t have to be boring though, there is no rule that says you have to spend hours at the gym each week staring at a wall as you run on the treadmill, instead there are plenty of fun ways to get active. For instance if you do like going to the gym because it has changing facilities etc then consider just doing classes instead, there are a huge range of different classes you can do now and they are a lot more fun than exercising by yourself.
Or take things a step further and get out of your comfort zone and start something like rock climbing. That doesn’t mean you have to get cold though, while you might think of rock climbing as an outdoor sport then actually there are indoor centers all over the place now where you can learn and enjoy the sport in relative comfort. The idea is to get you having fun while you exercise, because then it is no longer a chore and you will actually want to do it more often! So pick whatever activity interests you, badminton, bowling, hiking, anything that gets you up and active.
Something else you need to watch out for is starting off too quickly with whatever you choose. Our bodies need time to adapt, especially if you don’t usually do a lot of exercise, so you can’t just jump into an activity and give it your all and expect your poor body to cope, start off slowly and build it up over the course of a few weeks. It is actually pretty easy to start acclimatizing your body to exercise, walking is a great way to stretch your leg muscles, get your heart rate up and let your body know you are going to start being more active, just buy a heart rate monitor before you start to keep an eye on yourself. Keep an eye on your heart rate as you walk and aim to get it to the point where you are walking fast enough to make yourself out of breath, that shows you are pushing yourself hard enough.
If you keep that up and go out a few times a week then within less than a month you’ll have started to notice it gets a lot easier and you are able to go further. Once that happens then you are ready to start doing more intense exercise and you can find a club to join and start the new activity you have chosen.
