In fact, some people really, really don\u2019t like to work out. For those who aren\u2019t motivated to join a spin class or turn the man cave into a weight room, here are some ways to work out that don\u2019t, well, suck.<\/p>\n<h3>1.Try video games<\/h3>\n<p>There are plenty of video games out there that can get you up and active. You can fence, box, play tennis \u2013 you name it.<\/p>\n<h3>2.Knock out a list of chores<\/h3>\n<p>Does the car need washing? Is the garage a mess? Consider planning a few back-to-back chores for a moderate work out. You get to cross things off your to-do list and work out, win-win.<\/p>\n<h3>3.Start a garden<\/h3>\n<p>Ok guys, I know planting a few peonies might not be your idea of a good time, but gardening is a good work out. Plus, once a garden is in, it needs tending so your work outs will continue.<\/p>\n<h3>4.Have sex<\/h3>\n<p>You can burn quite a few calories when you have sex. Research suggests you can burn 5 calories a minute, which is about the same as a brisk walk. (Would you rather walk around the block or have a little fun between the sheets? It seems like an easy choice).<\/p>\n<h3>5.Go geocaching<\/h3>\n<p>Consider getting a GPS unit and going geocaching in your local park. Essentially, you use a GPS unit to locate clues and find small treasures in the woods. It\u2019s an outdoor hike 1with a purpose.<\/p>\n<h3>6.Do a walking meeting<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than sit in a stuffy office and have a meeting, why not take the meeting on the move? Consider taking a walk outside instead. Whether you walk around the building or head to the coffee shop on the corner, this is a great way to sneak in a little exercise while at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all need exercise, but the idea of going to the gym or running around the block isn\u2019t appealing to everyone.
