Exercise used to be a difficult thing for me to fit into my schedule until I realized it doesnt have to be this BIG deal.
I took some time to look at the numbers (which granted may not be 100% accurate but are at least a guideline) and I found this:
If I take 20 minutes to do something aerobic in the morning and then after work take a 15 minute moderate walk with the dog, 15 minutes doing yard work, 15 minutes doing moderate house work (all which needs to be done) then add some yoga/stretching in at the end of the day..I have burned an extra 378 calories.
It doesnt have to be all at once, or involve going to the gym, or lots of sweat. I just need to get moving and in return me (and my grand-dog) & my living space will all be more fit.
I know its not a real original thought...but just get moving!
