Trying to get in shape
I am not the most active person but I really want to get in shape, the problem is I hate most sports. What are some fun ways to get in shape?
Re: Trying to get in shape
Add more activity into your life. Try walking more places or even just walk around the neighborhood. You might want to look into a program like Couchto5K. I'm doing it now and really enjoying it. I know many of the people who post on this board have done it and highly recommend it.
If "sports" aren't really your thing, would you consider doing a program like 30 Day Shred, Insanity, P90X?
What's fun to me won't necessarily be fun to you.
Try different things and experiment.

There isn't a secret answer, you just have to keep trying things until you find something that you enjoy. Personally, I enjoy working out and I do a ton of different things during the week. This week I went ice skating, ran, lifted weights, and did yoga. Mixing it up helps me stay engaged and enjoy my workouts.
Start small, go on a walk or go to the pool.
How about hiking? It helps to take a dog- if you don't have one, borrow one.
There's also biking and paddling. Spring is a great time of year for outdoor recreation.
I hate to exercise, but I love to ride my bike.

Making an assumption that you live in Brooklyn, NY, make like most New Yorkers and walk, walk, walk.
I agree with the others, try different things. What's fun to us, might not be fun for you. Activity doesn't necessarily mean going to the gym. One of the fittest women I know is a yoga instructor who also hikes, bikes, and surfs.
