Theme: Turn Off the TV, Turn up the Music!

Today's Challenge: When the TVs on we tend to sit, but when the radio is on or the music's playing we want to move. Today's challenge is to trade in some TV time and crank up the music instead. Spontaneous dance party....oh yeah!!!

And if yesterday's spring cleaning project is still a work in progress, the music could give you a motivation boost to get it done!

Alternative Challenge: You probably send and receive a lot of texts throughout the day. So for each text you get or send today, get up and walk for 30 seconds!

    I'll take the "text" as "email" and go for the alternative today. (We don't have TV to trade for radio, and no radio in the house either, I guess radio in the car won't help, lol).

    I like the text idea. I never have time to watch TV so that's kinda moot for me, but I do listen to a lot of music. I love to put it on when I'm in the kitchen. I sing and dance while cooking or cleaning. Will definitely do that again today!

    Great idea! I also need to learn a dance that I'll be teaching 5/26, so I have my choice all picked out.

    Glad you like today's challenges! Cranking up the music more often has definitely got me moving more. It also makes me more receptive to doing household chores.

    The music thing sounds like an ongoing activity for me. I use my Prime membership for music on my kindle that I can carry around like a transistor radio back in the day. I also listen to accuradio.com a free channel with lots of types of music, curated into playlists. And I also use the digital music channels on my cable service. I do dance around my house a LOT.

    Going to see a band play tonight (so no TV time for me) but I will make it a point to stand the whole show (and shake my booty a little too!) :)

    Keeping music on- This also helps keep your mood up when you're trapped inside with crabby babies. At least it works for me sometimes.

    I like the text idea! I'll have to try that for tomorrow. I worked more in the garden again today for my clean up project. Maybe it will rain tonight now!!

    I will have to go with the text idea too, since there is no way my husband will let me turn off the TV! LOL! But I will walk when I get texts, and I will listen to some of my podcasts while I prepare tonight for my day tomorrow! :)
