This is so right, you definitely need to find an exercise that excites you and go from that, but you definitely need to get some cardio in life. I think I must be the only person I know that loves the treadmill. I get on that thing 5 to 6 days a week doing 40, 50 or 60 mins. I put my ipod on and go to town. With the fast music I am moving at a fast pace going about 4.6 to 4.8 mph and the time flies. I can do 3 miles in 40 mins and I work up a really good sweat and that isht feels good, then depending on the day I do 10-15 mins on weights and strength training or do 10 mins on the stationary bike...again going at a very fast pace...but like Summerchild said to all that hate to work out, find some cardio that you like and change it up fomr day to day..if I miss a day of not working out I feel like something is wrong, and don't get me wrong...i didn't start out like this, it just came on once I decided to loose weight almost 4 years ago, and to maintain the weight loss which to me is harder than actually loosing the weight, the key for me is getting my workout on and also keeping my healthy lifestyle eating in check. For me it's about portion control...sticking to what a true portion is and working out.
When I go on vacation, yes I do visit the gym each day that I am there....i eat what I want and drink what I want because yes I am on holiday, but like I said I visit the gym at the hotel everyday, and this helps to maintain instead of gain while I'm having a drinking and eating good azz tinme.
