I hate excercise!

[MotherOfGizmo]

So, got any suggestions for something that is actually fun to do to motivate me? Something that I won't detest doing so that I might actually do it!?

Keep in mind that I cannot run nor can I jump around too much due to a bunch of pins and plates holding one of my ankles together!

Motivate me! please!

Maybe you'd like Carmen Electras striptease whatever whatever it's called. I bet John would like it

They have a bellydancing exercise show that comes on up where my sister lives. I gave it a shot. Boy do I suck at it, but it was somthing different. Maybe you could try that.

LOL - yea except he'd be watching her on the video instead of me! LOL, I already do a really good strip tease to some Stevie Ray Vaughn Only problem is - "it ain't real sexy when you're fat!"

LOL, hmmm, I don't know though, if I get my big ol' belly moving it may never stop...like a big ol' bowl of jello!

What about swimming??? Or Biking or well can you do bouncing on the trampline it's not too bad. Can you get a MP3 player and walk around the Block that would be good.

I just read that some gyms offer dance classes - all kinds - for exercise. Maybe it could be a date thing with your sweetie.

Re: I hate excercise!

I know something that gets me out there is shopping!

Go to a really big mall and check out all the shops.

Doing a couple laps of that mall can be pretty easy - and then I realise hey, I'm exercising!

Re: I hate excercise!

Swimming can be good.... or you could try Pilates... or any low impact work out.
Personally I prefer to exercise at home so no one can see me while I do it
I do Tae Bo and in the videos you see always this very old lady and she keeps up with the others so maybe you should give it a try starting with the basic workout.

Re: I hate excercise!

Thanks for all the ideas! I don't have access to a swimming pool so that's out. To be honest I'm afraid to get on my bike since my ankle injury. I do love to dance and do that around the house anyway so I guess I get a teeny bit of excercise.

I did find out that Curves is offering 2 weeks free with the UPC code from a package of Klondike's Slim a Bear Ice cream products. There is a Curves right by my house. I may just take advantage of that offer and check it out...of course it depends on how much the membership fee is as to whether or not I could actually join once the 2 weeks is up.

LCDave, the mall is about the only place you could go walking around here right now. Its been in the high 90's for a while now!

Sarah, bouncing on a trampoline is out...bad ankle.

I borrowed a Pilates CD from someone a while back, I couldnt' stand the instructor so I never ended up doing it. She sounded like she was making a porn movie instead of excercising!

Thanks for this tip. Will have to go find some icecream.

Re: I hate excercise!

I bought a balance ball off of ebay and it came with a workout video. It is great for balance and strenght training with low impact on the legs.. Plus it only calls for 3 days a week.
Look around on ebay for it..
I hope this helps.

rotflmao!

Ever consider yoga? I've always wanted to try it and never have. I hear it gets you very flexible & limber - plus works you out, big time! I'm sure you could rent a DVD at a video rental place and give 'er a whirl.

Just a thought

Re: I hate excercise!

JERZ!!!!!!!!! You have a face! Nice to see you! You're a cutie pie!

I've never tried yoga..that's a thought though...I think renting a video would be good..I know I've purchased several excercise videos and then regretted it because I didn't like them. I'll have to check out blockbuster.
