So, even if you don’t love exercise, there has to be something that you wouldn’t hate to do to get yourself moving. I will admit that I have somewhat of an advantage in that I’m an athlete and was also the hyperactive type when younger. But even for me, if I don’t like it, I won’t do it.
I have come to a place in my life where I almost enjoy running. And, I certainly enjoy the feeling after a good run. Until recently I still played Ultimate Frisbee semi regularly. One of the best investments I ever made was buying a spin bike. (See attached picture.) It has been my experience that you should get a sturdy durable one in the $500 – $700 range. They don’t take up much space and get you a great low impact workout. Great if you are just working your way back. And, you can watch TV while you ride. So, I can run, do one of my two lifting routines, use the rowing machine at the gym, or spin. That give me 5 different workouts to mix up if I need variety.
I have clients who are
- rock climber,
- bikers,
- martial artists,
- tennis players,
- crossfit people,
- runners,
- gym rats,
- hikers,
- squash players,
- and boffers (Foam sword fighting – Yes that’s a thing!) http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Boffer/Rules-Games.html
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking there is only one way to work out. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. Get out there. It’s good for you!
