Who says you can’t burn calories while doing housework or gardening? Take a breather from your hectic schedule and devote some down time to tending to your lawn, trimming your rose bushes, scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom floors, vacuuming, doing laundry….whatever. Believe it or not doing chores does burn calories!
You can get the whole family involved in exercise. On the weekends why not join the family in their activities? Try integrating exercise into these activities; if the children are into cycling, join them for bike rides. Are they off to their swimming lessons, the water park or skating lessons? See if you can sign up in the adults section, or take a walk outside the recreational center while waiting for them.
One more thing….walk, don’t drive! Park your car far away so you can walk to the front door of the office, to the entrance of the mall, to the grocery store, the doctor’s office and to the post office. You must make a point of having fitness a part of your life in all that you do. I can guarantee; you won’t regret it!
Live Fit Live Strong!!
