Want To Lose Weight But Have Fun Doing So?

Recommended Posts

Keeping to a regular exercise schedule is not easy. After all, there are many potential hindrances ? time, boredom, injuries and self-confidence to mention but a few. These issues however do not need to stand in your way. Consider practical strategies for overcoming common barriers to exercise.


No. 1: ?I just don?t have enough time to exercise?


Making time for exercise can be a challenge. If this is the case (as is for so many) try to use a little creativity to outdo this common problem.


Try revamping your rituals. Your weekly Saturday matinee with the kids or your best friend could be reborn as your weekly visit to East Dulwich park, rock-climbing lesson or trip to the pool.


Consider getting up earlier. If your days are packed and the evening hours are just as hectic, you could try to get up 30 minutes earlier once a week to exercise. Once you?ve adjusted to early-morning workouts, add another day or two to the routine.


Perceived Barrier No. 2: ?I think exercise is boring?


Choose activities you enjoy. This way youll be more likely to stay interested and thus keep active.


Remember to vary your routine. Rotate among several activities ? such as a FitFunBootCamp on a Wednesday evening 18:40 on the Peckham Rye Common. First Session free. Explore new options. Learn new skills while getting in a workout. Check out exercise classes or sports leagues at a recreation center, health club or even consider investing in a personal trainer :)

    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
