| Set yourself a challenge, such as a half marathon, triathlon or something along those lines.
It then gives you the motivation needed to get up and do something.
Also, it helps if you can then train with a group...spending hours running or swimming on your own can be boring as hell...whereas with a group the training seems so much easier.
At the end of the day...don't diet...waste of time. Its the old saying I'm afraid that its a lifestyle change that is needed...join your local swimming/triathlon/running/hockey/football/rugby/etc etc club and watch the pounds fall off.
As an example, I have weighed upto 16.5 stone in the last 3 years...I'm now down to 13 3/4...from taking up triathlons as a fun event. A mixture of running/swimming/cycling ensures that you don't get bored, and the variation in training keeps things fresh.
Its not rocket science mate...a simple fact of burningoff more calories than you take in. The secret is finding something to do that isn't a chore. |
