Tips on Making Exercise Fun

There is No Excuse to Not Exercise

Everyone knows that exercise is a great way to lose weight. It is important to keep your body moving and to maintain muscle strength. Exercise can end up being time-consuming and oftentimes overwhelming. It is something people end up making excuses about not being able to do, “I just don’t have the time” or “I don’t even know where to start”.

Exercise Can Be Fun

Remember that as far as exercise on the HCG diet, we only recommend light exercise such as walking or yoga. However, once done with the HCG drops, there are many ways to exercise while having fun. Playing sports is a great way to not only lose weight but also have fun at the same time. Sports such as basketball, soccer, and football all have one thing in common, a lot of running. However with sports such as tennis, golf, and volleyball you seem to have a lot fun but little do you know that you are burning calories just by hitting the ball or jumping. Then there is the joy of riding your bike in the park on a nice day; it’s not only peaceful but it is a great way to exercise and stay in shape.

Another way to make exercise more enjoyable is by getting a group of people together to play. You can gather some neighbors, friends, or even co-workers to go throw a frisbee in the park. It can be a lot of exercise, but you are having a good time doing it as well.  Or you can take your kids to a water park, which also include a lot of exercise by going up and down steps and swimming, all while having fun at the same time.

Make Time to Exercise

Although exercise can seem overwhelming and oftentimes a time-consuming task, try a new activity to make it more fun and to mix things up. This is good not only mentally to get you into the mood to exercise, but it’s also a great way to work muscles that you may not use with your regular routine. Change up your regular exercise routine, or even start a new routine. This will allow your body to burn more calories, which of course will cause weight loss in the long run.
