[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 7649902, member: 58197"] I always struggled with motivating myself to go to the gym. Finally I said "Screw this, I'm going to do something fun," and I quit the gym and found a local ballroom dance studio. I've wanted to learn tango ever since watching "True Lies" in college, and the studio I picked has a deal where you get to participate in all the group lessons for free as long as you're taking a certain number of one-on-one lessons. Now I exercise for an hour and a half every weeknight, and two and a half on Fridays... not that I think of it as exercise. I'm always learning new things, it engages both my mind and my body, I get to show off my fancy dance moves at performances*, and dancing beats heck out of moving iron up and down or running endlessly to nowhere. My endurance has improved substantially without me even thinking about it. That said, I'll be the first to admit it's not really high-intensity exercise, and it's not an effective way to lose weight unless you're going to become a professional dancer and do it eight, ten, twelve hours a day. In my experience, weight loss is much more about controlling what you eat than it is about exercising. *Don't worry, you don't have to do performances if you don't want to. [/QUOTE]
