Re: Loathe Exercise!-Help!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Joanne. I know where you're coming from and I appreciate it. I am just

not motivated. Boy, today was rough with the teenager. He went off and stayed

with some friends and then lied about where he was and when he came back, I

grounded him. Geez, I sure hope I can survive these teenage years. It sure is

rough with this one. Doesn't help that that time of the month is here and all I

want to do is cry. One thing that helps though, is knowing, this shall pass too.

Thank God! Sorry if I am negative today folks. Just gotta let it out.

Thanks, Tina

Re: Loathe Exercise!-Help!

I know it takes commitment and I just dont have it. I just have to

keep trying I guess.

> Thanks,

Tina, Just DO IT as the saying goes... and remember " 30 days a habit

makes " .... you can make a new habit.... a good one. STart by

telling yourself you love to exercise! Here's a few favorite quotes:

Sow a thought, reap an action

Sow an action, reap a habit

Sow a habit, reap a character

Sow a character, reap a destiny!

What the mind of [a person] can conceive and believe, the mind of [a

person] can achieve.

Napoleon Hill

" Never, never, never quit. " Winston Churchill

" Quitters never win and winners never quit! "

Well, I hope these help! put them on post-it notes and stick them

around the house to motivate yourself!

be blessed!

Re: Loathe Exercise!-Help!

Hi,

I recently read a suggestion for people who loathe exercise. I don't know if

it will help or not.

Be sure to do a 5 minute " cool down " at the end of exercise. Here's the

reason they gave:

If you don¹t cool down you will feel rotten. (I feel rotten if I don¹t do a

cool down, so this seems true.)

You tend to remember how you felt at the end of exercise, so you learn to

hate exercise.

Anyway, forcing yourself to do the cool down during your next few sessions

may help. It's worth a try.

I also think that if you loathe exercise, it's best to start at a slow pace.

If you push yourself too hard, you will hate it. The best thing is to

develop the habit of exercise. Do it at least 4 times a week. Later on,

consider pushing yourself-- but only after you no longer hate the whole

idea.

You can get results without cardio-- but it's best to do both!

Cardio burns calories NOW. Weights and floor exercises burns a few calories

now, and more after you build muscles. (Plus the muscles look good.)

Walking briskly for 10 minutes counts. It's a good way to start.
