5 Tips On How To Exercise When You're Lazy
Chances are, if you're anything like me, you're rather lazy (or so you claim) and you don't really exercise. Maybe you're also like me and in a way want to be healthy but are so inactive you just
can't.
Wanna know what I mean?
Ex. 1
You're brother challenges to an uphill race. You are all for it and go to race him, only to get halfway up the hill and think you had a mini heart attack.
Ex.2
You're in gym and you suck. 'Nough said.
Ex. 3
I think you get the point.
So, you look up on the internet and get a whole bunch of crap you'd never end up doing and you give up. Well, never fear! I have some great tips to help you get a little healthier and feel better about yourself!
1. Dance
Okay, this one sounds weird, but seriously, everyone says that cardio is the best thing for you, so DANCE. It's easier than running, takes less room than biking, and you can do it anywhere.
Step 1: Lock yourself in your bedroom or when no one's around do this.
Step 2: Turn on a folk/ Celtic song, something by 21 Pilots,
What Makes You Beautiful, or whatever you want to jazz to.
Step 3: Start dancing. Don't care what the flarp you're doing, just get up and move! Fall on the floor, twirl around, pretend your a band member and pretend scream the lyrics. I don't care! Just get up and moving!
I find this helps me ALL the time when I want to wake up, feel bored, want to feel better, or anything! So jam out!
2. Reenact Scenes From Books or Movies
Not kidding, there is so many exercises you're doing as you pretend you're some amazing Percy Jackson, or Katniss Everdeen, or jumping off a train like Tris.
You get cardio, stretching, whatever else there is, and also, you use your imagination!
How To: Choose something to reenact or just start. Maybe, if you're reading a really good part from Narnia and Edmund and Peter are practice sword fighting you could hop out of bed, cry whatever they did, and start walking at the air with your imaginary sword.
If you're reading about Brianna from Gone or Wally West from Young Justice speeding around like speedy gonzola, GO FOR IT! Just started running around! Pretend you're Rick Grimes, pretend you're Eragon, run around and love doing it!
GO HAVE FUN!
Get some friends into it! Go have adventures in your backyard! Get creative!
3. Pace While on the Phone
One thing I do whether I honestly want to or not is pace. When I'm thinking, I pace. On the phone, I pace. Watching a movie? I pace.
Just walk around whenever you're doing anything that does not take physical contact at that moment. Simple!
4. Exercise While Watching Movies
I have (self-prescribed) ADHD, and cannot simply sit and watch a movie. Often when I'm watching BBC's Robin Hood I get up and start doing exercises from WikiHow. I just exercise and watch, not straining myself in any ways. I also stretch and whatever else. Just get active while watching. It might even be more productive than your parents thought in the first place! ;)
5. Get Creative
I could go on for hours. Exercise with water bottles, take the long way around, get active and reenact games or just play Wii and Xbox Connect games, any matter of things. Play a sport, jump rope, go play tag! Look it up! Go on WikiHow and other websites and get ideas!
I hope this helps! Please comment any more ideas or suggestions! Love you guys! See you later!
