Enjoying Outdoor Sports

I’ve spent a lifetime trying to “exercise”. You know buy a gym membership, buy new clothes, spend, spend, spend and then never actually see the inside of the gym, and never lose weight or get fit.

I have bought just about every home fitness video and dvd there is. Those infomercials are REALLY good! I get so motivated while I’m watching and I order only to have no motivation when the product actually gets to my house.

This summer I assumed would be much the same. However, one thing changed. I didn’t join the gym… again, but I did decide to dig my bike out of the garage and get back on it. As soon as I got on my bike I realized how much I loved to ride. That one ride has led me to set goals and even start a blog about long distance cycling. 

I’ve found since it became about seeing just how far I could go on my bike and not about how much weight I could lose the pounds have been coming off, and the muscle is building.

I’ve heard similar stories from others as well. A friend of mine bought an Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Inflatable Kayak, and now can’t stay off the water. She’s losing wieght too. 

It seems when you get out in the real world, and your focus changes, it becomes more fun. It’s more of a challenge, seeing what you can get your body to do. It all becomes so much more than a couple pounds on the scale ~ but those come off too.

So if you really want to lose weight and get healthy I suggest you get off your Schwinn 460 elliptical trainer and get yourself out in the real world! You might be surprised what happens.
