The good news for the lazier ones amongst us is that you don't have to set out for a marathon 60-minute jog every day to lose weight. Just 10-20 minutes of exercise three times a week should do it. Try these easy activities:
Running (try tackling a hill)
Walking (hit the stairs)
Skipping
Boxing
Jumping jacks
Lunges and squats
Sit-ups and push-ups
Swimming
Bike riding
Join a fitness club or team: group exercises or sports teams are not only great for motivation but also for meeting new people.
Workout while watching TV: use hand weights, stretch, or do sit-ups during your favourite shows. Also, get off the couch to change the channel or volume.
The hardest part of any fitness regime is getting started, but once you do you'll feel so much better for it.

fail

WTF, you can't watch TV while doing ANY of those things. ???
-
Just get a bowflex
-
Universal Health Care starts in the gym, fatties.
Moo!
-
Personally, I find fucking 4-5 times a week to be a good workout. The problem arises when you have to talk to the woman before/after.
-
eat less
move more
-
I lose more weight when I eat strictly and dont exercise than when I exercise and eat well.
-
I have not weighed less at this time of winter since I was a teenager. Once I begin to run again, I hope to be under 170 pounds.
-
Join Bally's Maffy, it's been great for my wife and I. :punch
-
MAF is a fatty?! :omg
-
It would be nice if there were some fucking 24 hour gyms around here.
:piss Gyms that close at 10PM :piss2
I joined a 24-hour gym this last summer. Nothing like starting a run on the treadmill at midnight. :rock
-
10-20 mins about 3x a week is all the exercise I do. I don't think anyone could describe me as 'lazy' after working out with me tho :lol
:bow Crossfit :bow2 :rock
Did a fun workout the other night, in case anyone wants to try. I call it '300':
for time:
100x 1.5 pood (24kg) kettlebell swings
100x Push-ups
100x Squats with 'W' barbell (13kg)
Time: 24.09

maf isnt a fatty, just lazy
-
the secret to fitness for lazy people is to unlock the transformative power of self-loathing
i now hate not going to the gym even more than i hate going to the gym
and i hate going to the gym A LOT
now i depend on loathsome gym visits for a baseline sense of well-being -- it's like drug addiction without the pleasure

Hahaha really?
-
Doing boxing or kickboxing (properly - not that billy blanks type shit) gets you thin really quickly.

Why is that surprising? Weight loss is 90% diet, 10% exercise. 'Experts' may quibble on the exact ratio but that's basically it. My appetite soars when I work out so i have to be really careful with what food I eat afterward....large quantities of good food are ok in that situation but large quantities of bad food will result in net weight gain no matter how much work I do. Then again, I'm 36 and don't have raging teenage hormones anymore.

I was hoping there was a mouse/kb that had gyros in them to simulate wielding on a long haul trailer.
Fixed!
-
waaaah, lazy people can't get in shape while being lazy!
:'(
-
id rather the article just say that.
"Guess what you lazy sonofabitch, you arent gonna be in shape."
-
raise your heart rate for 20 minutes a day for 3-4 times a week. stop eating fast food and drinking sodas. You're pretty much guaranteed to lose weight that way. fuck. it will be slow, but it will be healthy AND FUCKING EASY.
-
get one of those mini bowflexes or something :-*
-
waaaah, lazy people can't get in shape while being lazy!
:'(
Do you still train MMA? I hear that's a great way to get fit.
-
Going to the gym rocks when it involves checking out tight MILF asses as they do the elliptical... :-*

ATTN LAZY PEOPLE:
I know your kind. As a fellow lazy I know how hard it is to get motivated, but hear me out. There is a way to lose weight while still being lazy. All you've got to do is change your diet and start working out. And I know yer like "lol, but I'm lazy I don't want to work out." But I'm telling you tards: GET A FUCKING BOWFLEX.
I go to the gym but I don't go as often as I should, mainly because I'm socially introverted and don't like crowds. The same probably applies to you guys. Having a BOWFLEX in your home ensures that you don't have to deal with the lusty stares of studs or the glares of older women in the gym. IF YOU CAN SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR ON CHILDREN'S GAMES YOU CAN AFFORD A BOWFLEX.
Just set it up somewhere near a TV, and you'll be able to do your reps while watching your favorite anime programming.
DIET: It's important. Stop going to fast food places, they only ruin your body. Stop binging on juice; if you want fruit, eat one. Start drinking water. If you must have some type of sugary liquid get some Gaterade or iced tea.
Breakfast: You've gotta go to work, you don't have time for a monster breakfast right? Oatmeal can be fixed in a few minutes. Maybe have an egg or two during the weekends. Want to kill yourself, or worse, wind up obese? Keep eating those Jimmy Dean microwave breakfast meals. They taste so good, but it's not worth it. I can understand eating one when you've got no time for anything else, but under normal circumstances stay away
Lunch: You're at work and you can't drive back home to cook so you look for the easy solution: fast food. Is that the situation? It won't work once you're 40, and some of you ARE ON YOUR WAY THERE. Chicken breasts are tasty, healthy, and easy to make. Wanna spend your money wisely? BUY A GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL. If you have a kitchen area at work or even a cafe you'll be able to plug it up and fix your meals. Add some spices and you'll be eating in 10 minutes. Don't have the time? Then fix the chicken breasts in the morning and bring them to work in a lunchbox. Also, eat a salad dammit. Two chicken breasts and a salad will do the job.
Dinner: More chicken breasts. If you don't want more, eat some tuna. As long as you don't eat something full of fat you can do whatever you want I suppose. Dinner is an excuse to try new things. Try to make some spaghetti. Make some hamburgers, but make sure you use ground chuck beef. It's healthier than the substitute. Being able to cook a few items is going to be a plus IF you start dating women. Cohen is married. Why? He can cook and can afford horses. Take notes fellas
Snacks: Mmmm chips. Mmmm cheetos. Mmmm ice cream. STOP IT. You can eat them every now and then, but it's time to pick a new snack. Salted peanuts are a great source for protein. Eat them.
Workin out: Use the Boxflew three times a week. Maybe you should start off by using it twice a week, then move to three when you're ready. As I said earlier, you can do the reps at your own pace while watching TV or listening to music.
Here's a tough situation for a lazy. You don't want to put too much effort into things, but you know you need cardio. Well what do you do? I'm going to just assume you guys don't want to jog or run. How about you take your MP3 device, put on some nice shoes, and go for a walk around the neighborhood once a week? Just one day, maybe a sunday. That shouldn't be hard. The walking will work your legs, and of course the Boxflew will work on your arms and boobs.

Mountie school got in the way for 6 months, but I'll be getting back into training shortly.

Well, the pleasure comes after a workout. The feeling you get after a great workout is better than most highs I've had.
I have never, ever, ever gotten this feeling after a workout. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I am saying I'd be a lot more motivated to exercise regularly if I got some sort of good feeling out of it.
-
Yeah I dont get high from working out.
I keep relatively thin-ish but out of shape by keeping nothing to eat in my house cept almonds and dried apricots lol. I eat lunch annnd eat coffee and dinner most times, but almost nothing at home.

Really? That's too bad.

to paraphrase Dorothy P. -
'I hate exercising. I love having exercised.'
-
I only started to get the post-exercise rush after a year or so of training, and even then only after doing prolonged cardio-type work.

thanks man but i was too lazy to read all that.

I just love the feeling of being fit. I'm going through one of my do nothing fatty stages at the moment because of things going on in my life, but I gotta get back on the exercise-wagon soon.
-
what the FUCK is futsal? soccer japafag style?

That would've been my guess.
I like baseball. Because it's the laziest sport.
-
/facepalm for cajole
-
We just called it indoor soccer. :P
-
Yeah, basketball is the #1 thing that does it for me or any other kind of intensive cardio. But if you're really pushing yourself on weights you get a similar euphoria, just not as OMFG.
It's just this great feeling where everything just feels right with the world and you get this confidence that you can kinda do anything.
Yeah, it feels like drinking coffee spiked with espresso and amphetamines.
tennis :bow
