Exercise

So as I mentioned in my New Year's Post, one of my goals this year is finding balance. Something that I've always wanted to incorporate into my life is exercise. Not just for weight, although that would be nice, but for health. I have really bad joints, and being overweight with bad joints is a recipe for disaster in my family.
I know that a regular, sensible exercise routine would help tons with my joint pain, but I have this problem of going to extremes. If I start doing something, I want to do it 200%. Then I get overwhelmed, burnt out, and quit. Then I avoid it for 6 months or a year, then I want to start doing something again, so I dive in 200%... again. Rinse and Repeat.
I would like to find some way to incorporate exercise into my daily routine in a non-extreme, marathon-running, protein-shake-chugging way. My problem is this: if I don't see immediate results I get discouraged; I also have this mentality that results only happen if I take extreme measures. And I'm not just talking exercise- I'm talking hobbies, friendships, house-cleaning, work... I'm a very superlative person.
What this means for me with exercise is that I just don't feel like doing it if I can't drop 5-10 pounds a week. Here's the thing though; if I want to get healthy and find balance, I cannot center my life on something extreme. That's the complete opposite of balance. What I need to do is just find simple things that I can work into my daily routine of teaching, caring for my home and my family, having a social life, fulfilling my church obligations, and being healthy. This means that going to the gym is just not an option. I declare officially that I do not have time, motivation, or energy to get dressed in special clothes, drive to a gym, wait for my preferred machines to become available, exercise, drive home, shower, and change. Jeez. Just thinking about it sounds really obnoxious and time consuming. And I've tried- really tried. But my 6:00 wake-up call cannot be pushed back earlier to accommodate working out in the morning I'm just too tired when I get home to go in the afternoon, too busy at night.
What I've decided to try is Kinect. Kinect is like Wii on crack. No controllers, no mercy. There's a game that I've started doing this week that's basically a personal trainer combined with a video game. I like it because it's in my house, it actually monitors me and lets me know if I'm doing the exercises correctly, there are over 50 classes and workouts (boredom is a huge problem for me), and it tracks my progress. Plust there's the added bonus of price (We got the Kinect for free because hubs traded in his old broken X-Box 360 at Sams and all they had to replace it with was a new one with Kinect), and the lack of sweaty gym people.
 I figure if I can squeeze in 30-45 minutes a day exercising with Kinect then maybe I can get in the habit of working out daily. And once it's part of my daily routine, THEN I can try to tackle something bigger like running. For now, though, Dance, Boot Camp, Yoga, Tai Chi, Resistance Training, Cardio Boxing, and games will hopefully keep me active and interested.
What do you do to stay active?
