The weather is getting nicer so get you butts outside and enjoy it!!! Doing housework and lawn work DOES count as cardio activity (although not if you're dinking a beer and eating chocolate while doing it..lol)
So this week I want you to think about ways to get outside and get in a little exercise. Some of the more easily thought of are
* Taking a Bike Ride
* Going for a walk
* Going for a hike (watch out for tics!!)
* Mowing the lawn with a push mower
* Laying down mulch
Some of the less thought of ways to do cardio...
* Grocery Shopping (to really kick it up a notch wear ankle weights)
* Gardening
* Playing with the kids
* Swimming
* Waterskiing
* Roller blading
* Vaccuuming
* Going down a slip and slide (seriously - you get a workout here!)
So try to get in these things 3 - 4 times this week for at least 1/2 an hour.
Also try some Boot Camp style strength -
Push-ups
Rushing Squats
Stuats
Walking Lunges
Crunches
Toe-Touches
Do 18 repetitions and 2 sets.
**Keep that belly sucked in at all times and watch your posture - shoulders back, ankles aligned with your knees, chin slightly tucked, etc.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!!!!!!!
