Have more fun - Get more
exercise and love doing it
You know you want to get more exercise, but how do you find the
time and the desire?
Making it something you can look forward to and enjoy doing is
the key. Here are a few ways to do it.
* Join up. Go with the fun crowd to play tennis, soccer,
basketball, even bowling. When you will be with people you
enjoy, you'll make time for the activity even if you're not good
at it. You'll get better.
* Get outside. Hiking in beautiful surroundings,
swimming, biking, or skiing in winter will make you physically
and mentally healthier. And you'll burn more calories. Studies
at Utah State University show that people hiking outdoors burn
more calories than people using a treadmill.
* Walk to the music. Going with the beat is great whether
you walk outside or on a treadmill. At East Carolina University
in Greenville, N.C., doctors found that men listening to the
tunes of their choice upped their speeds and burned more
calories but didn't even realize they were working harder.
* Get an instructor. Find one at your health club who
cares about you, your program, and your measurements. Don't
focus on body shape, focus on training and health instead.
