Why are you exercising? What is in it for you? Are you working out to achieve a certain aesthetic goal, or are you just trying to stay healthy? Both? Great!
The reason I am asking is because people are always telling me that exercise is boring, or it is “not for them”. But, what is exercise? It is getting your butt off of the couch and moving around for a measurable amount of time! You are burning calories, lubricating your joints to prevent arthritis, and (if you exercise outside) getting some much needed vitamin D to help support your immune system and keep your bones strong! So many great benefits that will help you live a longer, more enjoyable life, but there are so many excuses to not do it…
This weekend, instead of sitting on the couch watching reality shows, make a commitment to get outside and move around. You don’t have to go to the gym, go for a run, or join a bootcamp. Just move! Walking is great cardiovascular exercise, and it doesn’t have to be boring. Instead of walking to a street sign and back, try walking or riding your bike to a store that you’ve been wanting to check out. Maybe you can even ride your bike down to the local Kayak rental place and go see what you can find out in the water!
Trust me, your day will be better, your energy and mood will improve, and you can feel good knowing that you just did something that will improve your quality of life. Need some ideas on where to go? Check out 365ThingsToDoInNewportBeach.com
Enjoy your weekend!
