Movement moment

Look at you daily schedule, when could you add a little more movement? Can you think of a time you can change inactivity to activity? Sure we can.....
1. stairs not elevator
2. park at the far end of the lot at the grocery store.
3. get rid of chair at work replace with exercise ball(ck. with boss...:))
4. House cleaning
5. walk to work or walk kids to school
6.Play with your kids ~jump rope, for example, or kick a ball around.
7.When using the computer for extended periods, stretch and tense various muscles
and hold for 5-6 seconds. The Flex Challenge. Can you flex your abs? butt? pull your shoulders back? Challenge yourself to do this each time something happens. For example, flex your abs every time you walk through a door. Or if you’re driving, flex your butt every time you turn. Get creative with it and have some fun.
8.Remember Jumping Jacks? See how many you can do during one or two commercials while you’re watching television. Have a lazy roommate or spouse? Challenge
them to see who can do more. Just a few ideas.....looks like fun. I am going to try a few more of these I had forgotten about.
