I hate to admit this, but I am genuinely one of those females who hate to work out. Thank God I was blessed with a fast metabolism and the ability to eat whatever I want because if I weighed what I ate, you would see me on that TLC show My 600lb Life. The sad thing is, when I was in high school, I had something going on every day. It was like clockwork for me, track in the morning, cheerleading, or whatever sport I was playing at the time in the afternoon. My mom and I spent weekends driving all over the city to different tournaments and competitions. 

Working out at the Gym

SO WHAT HAPPENED? I blame college; I can’t blame it on myself, duh. I went away for school and decided not to participate in any “school activities”; however, my laziness came with that decision. I was walking across campus every day, so technically, I got some exercise, but it wasn’t as much as before. 

I tried doing the whole gym thing, but I quickly realized I HATE the gym with a severe passion. Everything from the smell to being surrounded by giant men lifting my weight plus some and doing the same rotations on machines every time just wasn’t my thing. 

I thought back to high school and realized that I enjoyed working out so much back then because I didn’t know I was working out; I was having fun. The question now is, how do I stay fit and healthy without going to the gym? The solution… 

Lazy Girl Workout

I do not; I repeat, I do not follow this routine every day. I barely follow it. Yes, I’m a hypocrite, sue me, but I hope you have more discipline than I do and can get out of the bed and get your workout on

1. Keep your workout short. Focus on a particular area of your body each day. HIT IT, THEN QUIT IT (giggles)
2. Try working out earlier in the day, that way the thing you hate most provides you with energy for the rest of the day. This also allows you to knock it out early and move on to something more enjoyable like shopping.  
3. Try combining your workouts. Do cardio and strength training at the same time. 
4. Workout during the commercials of your favorite show. 
5. Do a class with your friends, that way you can hold each other accountable, and maybe just maybe you will actually show up. 
6. Shake up your routine. Try out a Zumba, Salsa, or Hip-Hop dance class.
7. Channel your inner goddess, break your shyness and go to a pole fitness, or aerial yoga class. You will enjoy it and definitely feel sexier afterwards. 

Look for yourself on Pinterest; there are tons!!
