I Hate Exercise But I want to loose weight

Let me guess: the thought of sweating in a gym, surrounded by protein shakes and people who actually enjoy burpees, makes you want to crawl back into bed with a bag of chips. If exercising feels like a punishment invented by the same person who created algebra, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to become a gym rat to lose weight. Let’s talk about realistic, doable, and maybe even fun ways to achieve your goals without sacrificing your life.

Step 1: Embrace Lifestyle Changes (No Gym Membership Required)
The secret to losing weight without hardcore workouts? Sneak movement into your daily life like a ninja. Here are some ideas:

Take the stairs: cliché, yes yes but try it and look at your smug face at the top of the stairs when you see your friend getting out of the elevator.
Like to talk? Walk and talk: Pace around your house like Arsitotle (Do you know why he was called peripatetic?).
Dance like nobody’s watching: You heard that before, now make it real. Turn up your favorite playlist and have a mini dance party with yourself in your living room.

The trick is to trick yourself into moving without “exercising”.

Step 2: Watch what is going in you!
No, you don’t have to survive on love, fresh air, borocoli and kale. Eating healthy is not about deprivation but about balance. Here are few chill ways to do it:

Portion control: You can still eat your favorite foods—just maybe not in “family-sized” portions. A little less lasagna, a little more salad?
Find sneaky swaps: Love fried food? Try roasting or air-frying. Obsessed with soda? Switch to sparkling water with a splash of lime juice (no, don’t look at the sugar).
Snack smarter: Instead of chips, reach for nuts, fruit, or even popcorn (make them at home, ditch the butter).
Eat mindfully: Slow down and taste your food. Aren’t you taking that extra helping to taste it? Then taste it. It’s not a race.

Step 3: Is it Exercies you hate?
Here a couple of coaching questions I would ask if you worked with me. Ask it to yourself:
When you say you hate exercising, is it the physical discomfort, boredom, lack of time, or something else?
Have you ever done any physical activity you didn’t mind, or maybe even enjoyed (think – walking with friends, playing tennis, gardening, swimming)

Find your fun: hiking, biking, viking (no viking does not make sense, added it for the rhyme :D). You got to move it, move it!
Call a friend: She or he will not help you win the million but everything seems better with a friend. Try one of the fun activities along with that friend.
Small hinges move big doors: Commit to a 5-minute walk, a one dance a day, climbing those 3 floors everyday. Something is better than nothing!

Step 4: Be Kind to Yourself and celebrate the little wins
Let’s be real: losing weight takes time, and life happens. You’ll have days when you skip the walk and eat the entire pizza. It’s okay. Progress isn’t about being perfect; it’s about making the choices that are aligned to your goal, most of the time.
Celebrate: Did you park further away from the store? High five! Took the dog for an extra lap around the block? Hug yourself!

Have a goal, build a system, stay consistent, be accountable. If you still need a health and life coach. Contact me 🙂
