Is Your Sedentary Life Driving You Crazy?

 Probably! I personally can???t imagine having to sit still for long periods of time. Of course, I slack off just like anyone else every now and then. For the most part, I really make an effort to get exercise every day. In fact, I wish I could do more but there just aren???t enough hours in the day.

I know some individuals that are bona fide couch potatoes and it really bothers them. I???ve also noticed that they can make a commitment to overcome the lack of activity and get something going.
It really isn???t all that difficult; you just have to want it. It really is that simple. Yes, some people have physical limitations and difficulties that make it difficult but it still can be done. I knew a remarkable1 woman that was morbidly2 obese3 with several chronic4 health conditions (lupus, arthritis5, high blood pressure, and more). She really did make an effort and lost over 100 pounds without any fancy diets or pills. You know what her secret was? She got up and moved. She only ate when she was hungry. She stopped eating when she was full. That simple! Seriously!
Don???t turn to some quick fix or think it will be easy to stop being a lump. It takes a commitment and desire. Yeah, this all sounds so clich√?. Oh, and you???re right, I???m no ??úexpert??ù and I???m not a physician. I???m just a person that knows there is no reason to sit and become mildew6 in front of a computer or a television screen. What are you waiting for? Good luck!
What are some of your favorite ways to stop being sedentary?
