It used to be that I would look into the mirror and wonder what the best exercises to lose belly fat were. I mean there had to be a short cut, right? We’ve seen the TV commercials showing those awesome result from just a few minutes of work on the latest ab device. My shortcut mentality told me there was an easy way out there, all I had to do was find it.
After a l
ot of wasted time and effort it occurred to me that maybe I should be looking for real workouts that would get results. Thing was the whole reason I was looking for a shortcut to begin with was that i hated boring repetition. I just wanted to skip past all that. Then I stumbled onto this article that suggested doing a wide variety of work outs not just a boring list of the same old exercises day in and day out. Some of the workouts were really off the wall. I knew about these different activities but I had never thought of using them as workouts. The infomercial crowd just doesn’t want us thinking that way.
These physical activity exercises are mentally engaging and fun. They really got me to look forward to my next workout. I came to think of them as a kind of mini adventure. Talk about spicing up your day!
Alright, I that you are just about to bust with curiosity about what they are, so…here they are
- Mountain Biking – First comes the leg burning drive to the top of the hill, then the adrenaline rush of flying down the back side dodging obsticle along the way…Wow!
- Rock Climbing – Your climbing up a sheer wall struggling for hand holds, trying desperatly not to fall and then when you reach the top…a word to your belay-men and…you jump off and repel to the ground! Awesome!
- Strongman Training – Ever watch the competitions on ESPN? Kind of do the same thing but use what ya got ly’n around. Tire flips (think deadlift followed by a push press) can be fun or weighted sled drags. Just use your imagination and don’t worry about what the neighbors think
Maybe these particular exercises are not your cup of tea, but I hope you get the idea? Just find physical activities you enjoy doing and do them. Find ways to make them challenging and then kick them up a level.
