Lose Weight - Five Simple Ways To Get Active

By Michael M Thomas

When you decide that you need to lose weight, the hardest part is usually getting yourself started. The key is to keep it simple. Start with something you know you can do. Here are five simple ways to get active.

If you are significantly out of shape or if you have not exercised in a long time, it may be harder to get started. Be mindful of your limitations. You may want to consult with a doctor before you begin an exercise program. Once you are comfortable, here are five ways to get active:
One, go rowing on a lake. Now, many of us don't live near a lake, so that could be difficult or impossible. So here's a second suggestion: go for a hike or a long walk. If you live near a mountain, that's a great place for a hike. But even if you're surrounded by flat land, you can still go on a nice walk.

A third option, depending on the weather, could be to go cross country skiing. If the weather isn't cooperating with you, maybe you can use a friend's treadmill or stationary, indoor, cross country skiing machine.

And if the weather isn't cooperating for you to ski, maybe you're near the water and you can try your hand at surfing. Not only is it fun to surf, it's also great exercise.

Along those lines, of something fun, the fifth suggestion is to try your hand at rock climbing. You don't need to live near a mountain to do it. Many neighborhood gyms have rock climbing facilities. Try it out. Take a friend. It's challenging and fun.

Now get off your couch and go create an adventure for yourself. Maybe none of these five suggestions will work for you. But the point is to find something fun and creative that you will enjoy doing. It doesn't have to be boring and tedious. Find something fun! Just do some exercise. Then you're on your way to getting fit and losing weight.
