The Why Is More Important Than The How
Synopsis
Now it’s time for you to dream up fun activities instead of that super cheesy party-sized pizza. It’s a little tricky, so we can start of with an easier request.
When you’re thinking about what to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it’s always good to attach some sort of physical activity that goes along with it.
For example, after dinner you can take a nice walk around the park. Drilling the idea of exercise after meals is vital for creating the perfect mindset to shed those pounds.

Physical activity works best when it's a steady part of your life, and exercise at home may be much more convenient than going out of your comfort zone and attempting to find time to get to the gymnasium.
Also, physical exercise is commonly more gratifying if it takes place in a comfortable environment, and what’s better than doing all the strenuous activities all in the safety and comfort of your home? Exactly.
When you start off with easy exercising patterns, you will be able to stick with it more readily and move on to more formal physical exertion more quickly.
Many of us are hooked on our automobiles, but if we simply make a little change and ditch our rides and opt to walk there ourselves, we may turn daily errands into a great work out. Instead of driving to the corner food market, why not walk or ride a bicycle?
Try exchanging your regular drive through around town with casual runs and brisk walks instead. Doing so will not only help save a lot of cash for gas but you’ll also be helping Mother Nature instead of contributing to pollution. Fantastic, I know.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator in your apartment building. Walk your neighbor’s dog. Join a fun run. There are so many fun ways to get fit!
If you have any kids, that’s great! Kids love to move and play about. Get your kids walking around with you, and instead of packing the whole family into the mini-van, opt to walk instead. Fresh air and great exercise is wonderful.
Another great way to get as much physical activities in is through multi-tasking. Get yourself a wireless handheld and have a conversation with your friend while lifting weights. This is stealthy and effective.
Tasks that entail standing up, like vacuuming or dusting, don’t need to be unappealing anymore. Plan to engage in them a couple of times each day. Utilize ankle weights and take little "walking breaks" to stretch out your legs if you are able to.
Do five or ten push-ups each time you enter or leave a room. Not too long, simply a couple of seconds to get your motor running.
A lot of people view their television set as the foe when it comes to physical activity, but it doesn't have to be that way. Think about the amount of time you spend on the sofa watching television, and then simply have yourself on a treadmill while you’re watching. Presto!
Pick a particular show you love, and make it your "physical activity show," which you view while working out. Many shows are available to purchase or rent on DVD, and hour-long programs which last forty-five minutes without the commercials are the perfect length for a great workouts!
