Finding the right exercise for you
One of the primary reasons why people find it hard to stick to their chosen diet and fitness program is that they couldn’t find the exercise that is most suited for their lifestyle, personality, schedule and ability. You might think that picking a physical activity that you will do for a very long time is an easy task, but it can actually be stressful for some.
But, you don’t need to be turned off completely and go back to your sedentary lifestyle if you can’t find a gym activity that fits you best. There are a lot of so-called alternative exercise programs that give you the same if not better results.
The key to finding the proper exercise routine is to determine what results you want and what you really enjoy. You might want to try a particular exercise randomly to see if works for you, but others prefer to take control from the moment that they decide to embark on a fitness program.
Keep in mind that if you don’t enjoy what you are doing, chances are you’ll slack off in the near future and wouldn’t be able to see your efforts pay off. Today, non-traditional exercise programs abound that cater to every whim and skill, giving health-conscious individuals a wider array of exercise options to choose from.
Or, if you want to be exposed to a number of different programs during the course of your training, you can opt to try a succession of alternative exercises to add some variety to your routine and keep your body feeling challenged all the time.
In fact, you can actually pick something that’s not exercise per see—nobody said that you have to go to the gym to achieve heightened strength, flexibility and coordination and stamina. Just remember that when choosing a suitable exercise activity, you have to focus on improving these four core skills.
Some of the lesser known but increasingly popular exercise activities include:
- Yoga
- Tai chi
- Dancesport
- Wall climbing
- Horseback riding
- Go ape!
- And a lot more.

- “ I have had five different trainers since getting into weights and all around workouts with Tammy is so far superior to all of them....she is so knowledgeable about the body and the importance of stretching combined with changing your workouts constantly to insure all muscle groups are being addressed...she is the best! ”
Cathy Lindstrom - “ Before I became Tammy's client, I tried working out on my own and injured my shoulder during a weight lifting session. Tammy showed me specific exercises to target the problem and now my shoulder is pain free. Thanks Tammy!!! ”
Cyndi Sullivan - “ I've been working with Tammy for over 2 years and have seen great improvement in my muscle tone and flexibility. She knows how to get me in shape without bulking me up. She suggests exercise routines that are individualized, challenging, and appropriate for my fitness level. I highly recommend Tammy as a personal trainer. ”
Becky Kime - “ Tammy has been my trainer for about 10 years. She has worked with me as my goals and situation has changed from general conditioning to getting ready for a multisport event or run. Tammy keeps the workouts interesting and varied. I am in better shape now than 10 years ago and my goal is to be even better at 60 than I am at now 50. ”
Carl Price - “ I have been exercising all my life, in sports and in general, and in the last 22-23 years with a personal trainer. In the room where I use the treadmill I was able to see others exercising. I noticed Tammy Eaton working with her clients and saw how closely she worked with them and how much time and effort she spent with them. She had a pleasing personality and I liked her laugh and her attitude towards her clients. She is my trainer now and I notice a difference in the way I feel and look. ”
