[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elliptical while watching TV.  Classes are really hard and 30 minutes means 45 with driving and waiting.  [/quote]

This is a recipe for failure.

For someone that hates working out, the elliptical in front of the TV holds no accountability.  Way too easy to skip.  Way too easy to cut the workout short.  And way to easy to half-ass the effort.

Sign up for a class.  You'll be accountable to your pocketbook (since you already paid), to the instructor (who will ask 'where were you?' if you skip), and to your new friends (who you may actually end up looking forward to seeing and chatting with pre & post class).

Honestly, you either want to get fit or you don't.  [b]But don't pretend that a single piece of equipment in the corner of your family room is going to get you the results you want[/b][/quote]

Ha. My peloton fits that description entirely and has entirely changed my whole body!

I'm not arguing for spin cause you said you didn't like it OP, but just saying PP's mindset is not totally right.

Really you need to find something you like. I like spinning, so I like the peloton so I do it. Try a bunch of different classes, orange theory, crossfit, barre, pilates, zumba, whatever, try a bunch of things. Keep trying until you find something you don't hate. Then make a schedule and commit to it. Don't try to fit it in or only do it when you have time, make a schedule on Sunday, commit to it, and do it. And do that for two months. I would bet at the end of those two months you will have started a habit and it will have become easier, more enjoyable, and skipping it will make you feel gross.

So basically, find something you like or at least that you do not hate and create a habit by forcing yourself to do it on a hard schedule for 2-3 months. [/quote]
