Keep moving!!

Sometimes it is really difficult for me to get time for a second workout with Ty underfoot and curious. On those days, I keep moving. Literally keep moving.

Using household chores to accomplish a low impact, quicker workout really works! If I have to bring things upstairs, I bring it up in small batches, requiring multiple trips up and down the stairs. If I change bedding, I carry Ty with said bedding to the laundry room and him back up with the fresh bedding. Vacuuming with squats, leg lifts or standing an work. Yes, nerdy, but perfect for me with a lot on my plate.

Many people who have come to me for advice on how to start a workout regimen find it to be a daunting task. Then I tell them about the household tasks and tell them to START SMALL.

Start with thirty minutes four times a week for so many weeks, then increase. You WILL get stronger. You WILL build stamina. I have confidence that you WILL reach your goals. I can't stress it enough that this doesn't come naturally to me. I have to work at it. Again, I love sleeping and eating and can get carried away easily if I let the motivation monsters get me.

START SMALL and work your way up! How will you START SMALL? How will you break your goals down to manageable tasks? You know where to find me if you need a soundboard!

I like to sweat. Seriously, I do. I also like having a workout kick my ass. Seriously.

Signing off for now. To all of you near and far and those so close I can smell you, until next time...
