Finding Joy in Something I Hate

Exercise.

Yuck.

Why would one willingly pick up heavy objects just to put them right back down? Or run for no reason at all?  I just don't get it.

However, my doctor says it is healthy.  It will help me lose the baby weight and also help with my postpartum depression.  So, exercise I must.

Bleh.

Okay, so maybe I don't hate all exercise.  I mean, I love to walk: on trails, through neighborhoods, or through the mall.  Walking can be relaxing.  I also enjoy jumping on a trampoline.  For a couple of minutes. I kinda like to swim.  

I have spent the last two weeks walking every day.  And I. Am. Bored.  I need something else to do.  Fortunately, I have a plan:
Think of all the workouts that spark an interest and try them all.  Hopefully at least one will stick and voila!  I will have a new healthy hobby!

So here are the workouts I am going to try out (and maybe a couple I already have tried):
1. Walking (Duh.  I mentioned it above)
2. Hiking
3. Water Aerobics
4. Barre Class (I always wanted to be a ballerina!)
5. Aerial (This one is the scariest but most intriguing!)
6. Dance Fitness/Zumba or Zumba-esque Class
7. Trampoline Cardio
8. Women Lifting (Even though I mocked lifting above)

Eekk!  I never knew I had so many interests in moving my body.  I certainly have quite the task in front of me!  Stay tuned - next Wednesday I will have an update!
