I hate exercising. I should rephrase that. I hate typical exercise. You know what I mean. Stuff like lifting weights, stair steppers, treadmills, those scary machines, aerobics, jazzercise, and pretty much all the stuff you see at the typical "gym."

And that is the other part of it. Every gym in my neck of the woods feels like you can not enter until you are fit and trim. So yours truly who has a long way to go would feel very out of place until I was a total lean mean D machine.

Of course being a "born again diabetic" I know that exercise needs and should be a part of my daily routine. So how do I make the non-existent gym rat in my come out?

Simple, I find something that I actually like to do and run with that!

I know that it seems obvious that the only exercise routine you will stuck with is the one you like but finding one you like is not easy. Well I found my own routine. I know when you think of exercise you do not think about throwing a Frisbee around, but I do!

Yes friends I am a Disc Golfer. I know it sounds ridiculous but I actually get about a two hour strenuous walk in every few days which I love and I have fun doing it! A few buddies and I meet up after work and early on Saturday mornings at a park in our area and play 18 holes of disc golf.

The game works like regular golf as far as objective and scoring but just imagine that instead of a golf ball and club, you throw a frisbee. And instead of a hole in the ground, you throw your disc into a basket. There are pars, bogeys, birdies, and all the rest. In fact, there are discs that you use in different situations. Drivers, putters, and mid-range discs are just a few of the arsenal in my disc bag! I absolutely love it!

The coolest part is that I am usually covered in sweat and breathing like I was jogging laps!

Do you find you like to take a non-traditional approach to exercise like me? Are you a total gym person? Are you struggling with adding exercise to your daily routine?

I would love to get even more ideas of things I could do that would not make me feel like I am exercising. So please post your comments.
