Working out


Eating healthy is hard but something I have trouble with is working out. I’m a lazy teenager who doesn’t like working out so I never have the pull to go to the gym or go on a walk and etc. but then once I’m ready, I never seem to know what exactly to do or how to work out properly.

When you work out, there are so many benefits including, “improved energy levels, increased ability to handle stress, improved mood, reduced risk of many chronic diseases, enhanced self-esteem, more positive outlook on life in general” (Stollman 33). I personally know I should start working out more to receive some if not all of these great benefits.

Now onto what to actually do to work out, the book detailed some ways to work out including: Walking, Using a Work out DVD, Cardio, Strength training, and flexablitity training (Stollman 33-39). I’m going to try to start committing and doing these different exercises often to obtain some of these benefits as noted before.

The last section Lisa Stollman added about Exercising was 10 tips to make exercise part of your routine which includes trying to walk a lot each day, sign up for activities, and make sure to move at least 60 minutes a day. These are just some of the tips for daily exercise!

Do you like working out? What do you do to exercise?

  2. Hello Sydney! Personally, I enjoy working out and going to the gym to play basketball and lift weights. It helps me get rid of stress and not think about school all the time. Even though you don't like working out, I would recommend trying a sport because it makes exercising a lot more fun and competitive! When I have to do cardio workouts, it is harder because I am not having fun like I would while playing a sport.

    1. Thank you for commenting! Yeah I should find a sport or activity I really enjoy so I'm more inclined to workout frequently.
