Exercise – Love it or hate it!
Do you hate to exercise? Don’t be ashamed if you do, many people dislike doing any form of exercise. The key here is to find something that you enjoy doing. It does not necessarily mean you must go to the gym three times a week, or run a mile four times a week. Count exercise as any type of movement that gets you out of your chair! Some examples:
• walking (the dog…)
• walk up and down the stairs
• swimming
• cycling
• netball / volleyball / basketball etc
• gardening
• skipping with ropes
• dancing
• cleaning / dusting the house
• decorating
• look after a toddler for a day!
