Not a big fan of sweating and exerting yourself but still want to be in shape? Below are a few tips to help you be the fittest lazy girl around.
1. Go For 20: Not in the mood to go to the gym? Dedicate just 15-20 minutes to a cardio workout.
2. Walk, Walk, Walk: You don’t have to just exercise in a gym. Walking can be just as beneficial as a cardio workout. Take the stairs. Walk to class (which is a workout in itself). Go for hikes. Walk to Westwood Village. Just find a way to move as much as you can during the day.
3. Go With Friends: Making exercise part of your social life will make working out more enjoyable as well as motivate you to have a consistent workout plan.
4. Lift Weights: Incorporate weight-training exercise into your workout to see ample results. The weight room at the Wooden Center may seem like a scary place so grab some dumbbells and workout in the outdoor area. It’s a little less intimidating!
5. Pull A Rope: The rope pulling machine, located in the John Wooden Center at UCLA, is perfect for any lazy girl. It combines cardio with strength-training and burns an insanely high number of calories. All you have to do is sit and pull a rope. It’s as simple as that… but with amazing fitness results!
6. Baby Steps: Jumping into a repetitive and strenuous exercise routine may be boring and eventually lead to failure, especially if you do not enjoy working out to begin. Start by making small changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or going to the gym a few times a week.
