Four Non-traditional Means of Exercise to Assist With Weight Loss

When people hear of weight loss specifically exercise they invariable think of long hours in the gym surrounded by leotards, spandex and steroid muscle bound freaks. I can tell you that all of that is completely incorrect if that is what you think of a gym. But if going to a gym scares the daylights out of out you and you do not want to buy weights to make up your own home gym, here are some non-traditional exercises that you can do. They won't get you ready for the Olympics but they will give you the daily exercise that you need and should be getting.

Yard Work If you are fortunate like me and own a home that comes with a yard, then you have built in daily exercise just waiting for you. Mowing the lawn, pruning the bushes are all forms of exercise that will help you lose weight. The best part is your landscaping will great to!

Walk Your Dog I love animals. I have been a dog owner my entire life and could not imagine what life would be like without one. They bring an undying loyalty and friendship into your life like no other pet (and some humans) can. But did you also know that they can bring some exercise in your life as well? Well they can in the form of their daily walk. You see dogs need daily exercise as well as their trip outside to do their "business". Combining your walk with the dog's walk is a great way to get some exercise for the both of you. When I walk my dog I start off slow letting him do "his thing", and then once that is done I pick up the pace and get a nice brisk walk in. Try not to walk in hot temperatures and always bring water for the both of you.

Wash Your Car Yes washing your car is a form of exercise. You are moving, stretching, bending, and lifting buckets of water. It gets your body moving in all different directions and the best part is when you are done you car is clean. Don't forget to add even more exercise to this tip by doing some detail work on the inside such as vacuuming the floor mats, wiping down the dashboard and so on.

House Cleaning Let's face it you have to clean your house. Unless you are a slob you need to do the dishes, vacuum the carpets, and wash your clothes. All of these tasks are forms of exercises. If you have a multi-level house like I do where you have to go up and down steps to do these chores you will be adding even more exercise to your daily routine.

So there you have it four different ways you can incorporate a non traditional means of exercise into your routine on a daily basis and at the same time get some things done that you have been putting off.
