| Hi Sandi,
I think for any form of exercise to be successful that you have to find something you really like to do and that you get enjoyment from. Otherwise it requires effort to get motivated each time and sooner or later one is tempted to "fall off the wagon." Personally I get really bored in gyms and like to be outdoors so I try to find things to do like running, hiking and bicycling so I can enjoy the countryside, spring flowers, birds, etc. at the same time. I have explored a lot of the surrounding countryside by bicycle and on foot and it is amazing what you miss riding around in a car - beautiful streams, wildlife, etc.
Another thing you could do is set a goal for yourself like choose a local 5K race that you would like to run in, get a pal involved and train for it together and then plan a special reward when you achieve your goal. I started running that way - by training for a local women's four mile race with a group over one summer. The camaraderie was excellent - I made many new friends and one thing led to another and now I can honestly say I like running and look forward to it for many reasons.  |
