It seems that very few skinny people have a sedentary lifestyle. Be it tennis, yoga, or cycling, they have something that they do on a regular basis usually OUTSIDE. I don't know why, but exercising outside seems to be an important factor of being skinny. I am having trouble finding an exercise that I like. I take that back. The exercises that I like, get my heart rate up to about 200-220 and my doc says I shouldn't do those. That is not a good sustained heart rate. Which leaves all sorts of exercise that I don't like. I liked step aerobics and cycling. These were both at a gym, with a person telling you what to do in the front, non competitive, without a ball. INSIDE. Running has the same heart rate effect, and other sports have a competitive component. Yoga, and palates I find incredibly boring and painful. This looks like a list of excuses not to exercise but if I don't love it I am not going to do it.
Goals:
1. Try to find a way to cycle or do step aerobics w/o getting my heart rate up to 200 and still like it.
2. See if swimming, or regular biking can accomplish the goal.
Another big factor is the children. There are 4 of them, and only 3 of them can swim, only 2 of them can ride a bike. If I could just find a way to exercise outside with them without losing anyone...
