I hate exercising. I've always been in good shape, and I've never had to have any kind of exercise regime. But that's changing as I get older. Now I've tried exercising in several different ways, each time giving it a good solid month to get used to it, and I hate it.
Now I've started using the Hacker Diet method of general fitness, and I'm finding it simple, efficient, and unobstrusive. And I feel better. I've also started on the diet itself and I'm losing weight. At 5'10" and 175 pounds I'm targetting losing 35 pounds in the next 6 to 12 months. I've only just started, but I'm on track, and so far it's not a problem.
The Hacker Diet (and exercise) seems to suit me. The gym definitely doesn't, and I'm deeply suspicious of any drugs or supplements.
"Even if you're resolute in believing you won't feel one whit better from exercising, you'll certainly concede that you'll feel a whole lot worse after collapsing to the floor with a coronary. I've no direct experience with this particular unpleasantness from life's menu of surprises, but folks I've talked to who have are unanimous that it's best avoided. Those who dropped dead right away were unavailable for comment."
"The marvelous mechanism that is your body has many signals to let you know when problems arise. If you're exercising and you encounter chest pains, shortness of breath, or other indications that something is awry inside your rib cage, don't ignore them! ... Ignoring these signals from your body is the height of folly. It can lead to all kinds of tedious and exasperating side effects such as sudden death. "
