I know there are gyms that are seeing a MAJOR influx of memberships from last week til about 2nd week of January(ish). I think that's great - however, this single Mama on a SERIOUS tight budget can think of ways I can get a workout at home and not cost a thing! Here are some examples of what I have been implementing into my day:
- Going out for a walk/run
- When weather is not freezing my bahoodum (I live in Wisconsin) - there is always YouTube and type in HIIT training (High Intensity Interval Training) that you can find with or without weights, low impact, etc... these are GREAT and most are only 30 min long - that's all you need with this bad boy!
- Doing squats while doing the dishes
- Dance while vacuuming
- Leg Raises watching TV
- Crunches during commercials
- Push-ups when the crunches are done
- Stretching in the morning before getting out of bed and before you go to bed
- Calf Raises (where you go up/down on your tiptoes) while cooking your healthy, clean meal
This list is endless, but these are just a few ideas to get you started... JUST MOVE! I'm also learning that we have to be intentional with our choices...from planning out our meals for the day, exercise, water consumption (soooo very important! TRY for a gallon a day), getting enough rest (at least 8 hours), and meditating (whether that's Yoga, having your devotions with God, or just being STILL and QUIET)... it all goes hand in hand...
BE INTENTIONAL.... BE CONSISTENT... it's a mindset that has to be put into practice on the DAILY!
I'm on this journey WITH you... I am living out what I type here - it's hard, no doubt, but YOU are so worth the effort!
