Default what type of exercise do you do?

Hiya

Just trying to get myself motivated to do some exercise in the new year, so thought i'd ask what everyone else
does out of choice?

I used to go to the gym or go jogging ( when its not too cold! ) but i get bored really easily of these.
So i'd like to try something new, but havent a clue what! Plus i havent got anyone to do classes with, so like to do things i can
do on my own really.

Any ideas?

Hi Gem,

I hate jogging and the nearest gym to me is a 20 minute drive.

I think I'll start doing press ups and situps at home with a few long walks just to get me started.

Have you tried using the wii fit?

Hiya

Yeah i have a wii fit, but its hard to try and do anything at home esp with the wii, cos i have 3 kids and
they always take over! lol

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I used to use a cross trainer that was positioned so I could a TV, watched an episode of the Simpsons while exercising.

The cross trainer also had distance feedback so I plotted a route a route from lands end to John of Grouts and everytime I used the cross trainer I would try and travel a minimum distance to get me to another village or town. This sort of motivated me in a strange sort of way and found that I always wanted to get to the next village to the one I was aiming at.

Hi Yeti,


I like this idea. Is that an expensive crosstrainer you have got?

Thanks

It's a York 3100 that can be used standing up or sitting down. I brought it a few years ago and to be honest I can't remember how much it cost.

I find the only thing with work outs at home, is that they are too easy to just not bother doing! lol

Or i always seem to have other things to do.
