We recently asked some of our Facebook fans to tell us what they thought were good ideas for workouts during the busy week. A few of them responded with some cool ideas, like finding a workout buddy and trying to walk as much during the day as you can. Here are a couple other ideas we came up with that we think you might like.
• Take back your mornings. We know it may be hard for some of you to get up even earlier than you already have to but if you can, the payoff is worth it. It can take some time to build up a routine so that it isn’t so painful to get up early. They say it takes something like three months before something starts to become a habit. To make this easier though, consider choosing an exercise activity that not only makes you feel good, but is fun for you to do. Get outside. Run along the beach. Go kayaking or swimming. Ride a bike. Dance. It’s a lot easier to get excited about getting up to work out when you are looking forward to it.
• Join something. No, we don’t just mean join a gym. Consider finding a running group or a recreational sports team in your area. San Diego has a great program called VAVI, linking together adults from all across the county to participate in club sports for a small fee. From soccer, to kickball, to beach volleyball, participants can get involved and stay in shape, all while making new friends and having fun. Look into clubs like this in your town, or consider forming one with people you already know.
There are lots of great ways to get excited about staying in shape and fitting it in to your busy routine. All it takes is a little bit of dedication and we’re sure you’ll be happy with the results. Now go, exercise, be healthy. And don't forget your healthy sports drink, Vitalyte. (wink, wink).
