Weightloss without exercise?

[hydster]

Yes you can lose weight by just cutting back. I've done it but somehow it always manages to come back. I've lost 10-15 pounds by just cutting out stuff but it never stays off unless I get moving.

For us we go to the gym 3 times a week. We run all 3 days and do some ab workouts on the swiss ball.

The other 4 days we do Yoga. LOVE it! It really works you out but it also stretches you and tones you and it doesn't really feel like a workout. You get some cardio in by trying to keep yourself in whatever position you should be in but you also tone your muscles and stretch yourself. We have found that we sleep better when we do the Yoga than when we do anything else. We do it at night an hour or so after we eat and we both enjoy it. We have several yoga shows that we switch between so we never do the same workout during the week.

I hate exercise too, but it's so much easier to do if you're getting it while doing something fun, or something in a group. I was doing a tough yoga class (wow, that was cardio and resistance rolled into one - I'd be dripping with sweat, muscles aching, after 45 mins!) - gave it up temporarily due to lack of funds. I am alsol doing an adult jazz dance class - what fun! We work on dance routines, adding a little each week. We are doing an end of term dance in costume for our friends and family - think "Chicago" (we're using the song "Nowadays", which gets very energetic with the Charleston dancing halfway through!). Due to the warm-up and the energetic dancing, I am also red in the face and dripping by the end of the hour! I was also looking at taking a belly dancing class once DH's salary from his new company starts coming in - that would be great for the midsection I would think!

There are lots of things you can do that are exercise but don't feel like it. Added bonus: new friends you make by joining these activities!
