No matter what, some people simply hate exercise. While knowing that it’s beneficial for overall health, many people avoid working out just because it seems boring or unnecessarily tiring. If you’re one of those people, we’re not here to judge. Instead, we’ll share some amazing ways to stay active even though you hate exercising.

Dance

We don’t know a single person who hates dancing! Even if you’re too shy to do it in front of the others, nothing prevents you from blasting some music and making a dance party at home. You can burn a lot of calories while having fun.

Gardening

Taking care of your garden counts as an activity! Chances are there’ll be a lot of squatting, bending, digging, and other movements, so 30 minutes per day is enough to consider your workout done. Plus, you’ll have the most beautiful garden in the neighborhood!

Choices ~ I’m thinking of the choices I make on the daily of what to do and what to let go. Different seasons bring different choices. During summer we may be a little er maybe a lot unkept because I’m choosing other things, like… the garden, swimming, ice cream, canning, picking berries and making jam, fishing, camp fires with s’mores, catching fireflies and porch sitting. All of this of course on top of the things that have to be done like feeding my family, reading, and tending to relationships and of course squabbles and occasionally the all out fight, and let’s not forget a marriage! 😉 So forgive the messes. The untidy porch. The piles of laundry, all the boxes and jars, and screens of drying things, dirty floors, and unmade beds and definitely the untamed yard!
