``I hate to work out. O.K. There I said it. My daughter is working out on a piece of home gym equipment as we speak. I just hate it.

She has always had a gym membership; I went with her to work out one time on an eliptical machine, and I was so bored. I had to take a break to eat a Little Debbie Cake. I did fit in much better than her brother; he thought the cup holders on the equipment were an ash tray!

I have been watching elderly people I know and love suffer the effects of obesity in their last years: diabetes, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, immobility, etc... It has made me think about trying to make some healthy changes in my life. Today, I walked out to my car at the end of the hospital lot instead of taking the shuttle. I know that I need to change my diet and get more exercise. But, I hate to work out.

I was thinking that maybe I just need to be more active. There are ways you can add activity to your life and get your daily exercise without a workout. And, they are free!``

This post from Ehow contains lots of fun little tips that are easy to follow to help you get fit and stay healthy without access to a gym!!

Compression Socks could save your muscles!

``Whether you are walking on the golf course, out for your regular workout or running a marathon, often times your legs and feet will feel swollen or achy when you are finished. There is an easy solution that can help your legs and feet feel better: compression socks. Wearing compression socks can help increase blood flow, more evenly distribute muscle strain and help legs feel less fatigued.

These products used to be considered only for people with medical conditions or circulatory problems but are now becoming more widely used by people who are catching on to the benefits. They can help those who practice more moderate exercises. Surprisingly, research shows athletes are at a higher risk than others for DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), a potentially fatal blood clot that forms in the deep vein system of the lower leg and can occur from sitting in the same position for an extended period of time. Trained athletes have a lower resting heart rate which can cause blood to stagnate and become thicker which could lead to problems like DVT.

Athletes should stay hydrated with both water and an electrolyte replacement. Dehydration from extended athletic activity causes glycogen and water to be pulled from muscles, and blood becomes more dense. Immediately following an endurance event, the body compensates for this by pulling water and glycogen back into your muscles. Better circulation drains lactic acid out of the blood system and legs. This is why a cool-down is necessary - it allows the blood in your working muscles to gradually move back to your internal organs instead of pooling in your legs.``

Drunk = exercise....maybe!

Just found this interesting article on Digg:

http://www.diet-blog.com/archives/2009/09/03/drinkers_more_likely_to_exercise_than_non-drinkers.php

If you're hung over, the last thing you feel like doing is taking a hike or going to the gym. All you want is the cool embrace of the side of the toilet bowl!

So, it's pretty surprising to hear people who do a lot of drinking actually exercise more than abstainers.

Maybe guilt is the motivator--you feel like you're making it up to your liver by sweating the booze out in a high-intensity spin class.

The goals, whatever that goal is beginning to believe.

Whether your goal is to drop weight (a few pounds or over 100 like me), earn more money (a little money or Mega Bucks), or to find your soul mate (male or female), all starts in the very same place:

* Believe you can.

* So take small steps every day that you approach this goal.
* Then you have to allow it in. .. you must accept the actual purpose for your life. Ironically, it is often the hardest part ... If we have not really internalized that we deserved the goal!

Decide what you want.

Believe it is possible for you.

Take small steps to achieve it.

Slimming down slowly

Obesity not only cause serious diseases like diabetes, but also will cause some psychological problems like anxiety constant. For better health, an obese person should follow an appropriate plan for fat loss to reduce body fat. Here are some tips easy weight loss.

1) Do not skip meals - Some people think skipping meals decreases caloric intake and help fat loss. But in reality, it will break the balance of sugar in the blood in your body, and put your body into a starvation mode and therefore, your body begins to store fat. Split a large meal into several small meals is a good idea. It helps keep your blood sugar balanced, and boost your metabolism to burn more fat.

2) Eat natural foods - Many processed foods have more sugar than you may not even know. Natural foods contain less sugar and other harmful ingredients such as preservatives. Therefore, natural foods are always the first choice.

3) Eat fruits for breakfast - fruit was still low in fat and calorie level, but this rich in vitamins and minerals. The fresh fruit can give you enough energy, but not cause fat deposition. Apples, oranges, strawberries, grapefruit, cherries, melons and grapes are all good choices.

4) Reduce the size of the food - If you want to continue eating your favorite not so healthy foods, be sure to reduce the size by half. If you still feel not enough, try some other healthy food. Eat favorite foods can make you psychologically satisfied and reduce the desire to eat more while reducing the size may prevent you from overeating.

5) Select the right drink - Avoid beer, soda, punch and other sweetened drinks. Water is the best drink. It contains 0 calories. Drinking enough water can improve your metabolism to lose more fat and flush out toxic wastes from your body. Remember to drink plenty of water each day.

6) Eat slowly - When you eat, it will take about 20 minutes for the "full" signal going to your brain. If you eat too fast, eating too much of May, before you fell enough. So eating slowly can prevent overeating. Also, if you eat slowly and chew food completely, your stomach needs less work to digest. This will help to reduce stomach diseases, digestive problems and others.

7) Exercise - There is no need to stress the importance of exercise for fat loss. Exercise increases the metabolic rate, help you burn more calories, even long after completing the exercise, and you fit and healthy. High intensity exercises burn more fat, but may not be the best choice for you if you do not like it, or too difficult for you to do. So try to select some exercises you can enjoy and is easy to integrate into your daily routine.
