Exercise – Making Commitments

We recapped on last week’s topic – how to increase activity without thinking about it, so following on from that we discussed benefits of exercising:-

• Makes you feel happier – the feel good factor
• Can help with with weight loss and tones you
• Increases your energy levels 
• Skin looks better
• Helps with relaxation
• Boosts sleep quality

Make exercising fun!  Make sure you do an exercise that you enjoy, you’re more likely to stick at it.

• Go with a friend
• Join a class – meet new friends
• Exercise whilst listening to music
• Record your achievements/progress
• Exercise whilst watching TV
• Walk around whilst talking on your phone
• Run up and down the stairs during adverts
• Make your housework a workout
• If you’ve got a dog – walk it more or for longer

We discussed exercises excuses and came up with solutions

• No time – we all can make time even if just two 30 min walks in the week is better than doing nothing at all – we touched on the amount of time the majority of us spend on the phone – so we can all make time.
• Too much pain – Try different types of exercises, there’s always alternatives that can be done.
• It’s boring – try different exercises, if you don’t like a certain type of class try another, try swimming, power walking, dancing you’ll soon find one that gives you the ‘feel good factor’.
• Costs too much – do it at home, lots of workouts on YouTube – don’t cost anything.  Walking – a good power walk burns more calories than jogging!
• I’ll start tomorrow – TOMORROW NEVER COMES – get your comfy shoes on and start today!!
• The key is to do more than you did before – I asked you all to make a commitment this week and write it on your weekly handout – I’ll be asking you next week how you all got on.

Many members regularly use various youtube video workouts. Some are as little as only 7 mins long, such as Lucy Wyndham Read. Give one a go! Shut your curtains and exercise like no one is watching!!
