So here I go about to begin giving you all a wealth of information that is running circles in my head. I was supposed to have a photo shoot done today of cardio, strength and stretching exercised to post each week to this blog but the weather is RAIN so I had to postpone my photoshoot with my dear friend and professional photographer Mike Franzman.
Let's start off with some basic information for those of you who may not belong to a gym or feel like there is no time in your life for yourself and fitness. You don't have to put aside a full 40-60 minutes all at once to get your exercise in each day you can break it up with a 10 minute fast paced walk before breakfast, and another one at lunch time or if you work in the city and have to walk blocks to get to your office wear those sneakers and pick up the pace. If you always choose to park close to your office entrance or close to the entrance of a store why not start parking as far away as possible and doing a nice fast walk to get to your destination and begin choosing to use the stairs and leave the elevator free for those with strollers or for the elderly or handicapped. There are many ways to get exercise into your daily routine without you even knowing it. How about when folding laundry you squat to pick up the laundry and rise up to standing position and onto your toes (while folding) you can be working your entire body by just folding laundry.
Activities in your life (such as housechores, yardwork, grocery shopping etc.) all help burn calories but exercise is something planned that will force you to work your heart and all your muslces which will bring about better health and a much better capacity for living.
