Get Moving!

Need to incorporate more movement into your life?  Here are some simple ideas that are easy, don’t require any memberships, and take little time.  Make your health a priority in your life!  Increasing movement in your life helps you become healthier and better able to handle stress.  Not moving because you have no energy is like asking a fireplace to give you heat before you put logs in.  It’s backwards!  If you want to sleep better, have more energy, and better handle stress in your life, then use your imagination and simply move!  Notice I did not use the E word (exercise), as many people have a negative impression of exercise, when, in fact, exercise is supposed to be fun.  When we were kids, we begged our parents to be able to play just one more game or to play just a little longer, but ask an adult for one more set or rep of an exercise and see just how happy they are.  So instead of formal exercise, let’s talk movement, play and FUN! 

1. Go for a walk.  The weather is still great, enjoy it!
2. Pedal exercisers are a wonderful way to turn TV time into an opportunity to move. They are inexpensive, small, and can work your arms and legs while you stay up to date on your latest show.  
3. Dance! Start dancing as you get ready in the morning or at night.  Listen to your favorite music and just jam!
4. Jump rope.  It’s great exercise and if you don’t have a rope, just pretend and jump anyway.  You won’t have to worry about getting caught up in the rope that way. 

Get creative and increase movement to become fit and stay healthy!  Remember to keep it fun so your inner child WANTS to play along.  Happy movement everyone!!
