Not any interest in this thread...But this thing has really helped me get motivated.

The last couple of years I haven't exercised like before and this has really helped make it a lot more fun. I have play lists with beats per minute ranging from 95 to 165 BPM. (130 is about average walking speed)

And each song is one of my favorites, so it really helps keep a steady pace or to adjust the pace to warm up and cool down.

A couple of other things I've found that help:

Work out bands or bungee cords. When I'm at the computer I sit in a regular living room chair and not an office chair. So I put a work out band under each leg of the chair. I set alarms throughout the day to go off every 30-45 minutes, and I take a break from the PC and do 2 minutes of resistance with the bands about 10 times a day. This adds 20 minutes to the daily routine but isn't boring and gets the blood moving while at the PC.

I'll also go to Youtube a few times a week a make a custom playlist for an ecletic assortment of videos, such as zumba, krav maga, begining hip hop dance moves, yoga, tae bo, aerobics, boxing, tai chi, etc.

I suggest adding these to a 20-30 minute walk at 8500 ft above sea level in the Colorado Rocky Mountains to add a lot of variety to exercising and working out.

Anyone have any simple suggestions to help make working out more fun?

What a great idea to stay in shape. I'll definitely give this program a try and create a playlist when I take my break from the computer. Are you also into yoga, tae bo, boxing and tai chi?
