Exercising... bummer!
I'm excersising 2 to 3 times a week. I do weight lifting and cardio about every other day.
I can't stress how important I think the weight lifting is! It changed my body definition a ton I think!
Cardio for me is either the treadmill or a stationary bike. Too many years of being heavy has left me with a bad knee so Zumba and other high impact stuff is out.
In the summer I love kayaking! Try and find fun things to do so it doesn't feel like work. In a cold climate...cross country skiing...downhill skiing...ice skating..
Get out there and try new things...you'll love it!

The best exercise is something you enjoy because then you will do it. I enjoy the water because I hate to sweat. I go every day for an hour of aqua jogging, aerobics, and /or pilates, mixing it up for variety. By now I can't imagine missing more than a day. My body loves it! I have nice looking arms (if you don't look at the bat wings), awesome abs, and my legs which are my heaviest area are shaping up too.
I hate to exercise too but I have found Zumba to be a lot of fun ... if I don't worry too much about getting all the steps right and concentrate on just moving around to some GREAT music. I actually enjoy the sessions though they are a real workout.
I also do aquacizes twice a week and no matter what anyone says, if you put a lot into it you do get results without the pain on knees and such.
Just my two cents worth.
