FOUR on the FOURTH!! Easy exercise

Happy Friday and Happy July 4th!!

      For most of America it is a three day weekend!!! Yay!!! Full of fun in the sun, family and friend time, barbecues, beach and pool time!! Woohoo!! It's going to be an awesome weekend! I hope all of you enjoy and have a great time! 

     This week I got started on the topic of working out and I think it's a great time to introduce SIMPLE ways you can incorporate easy exercises into your life! Best part??? You won't even really realize you are working out! And what better time than this weekend to try these simple NO FUSS exercising tips; since you will probably be too busy with all the fourth of July activities to make it to the gym!

Four EASY ways to add some exercise in YOUR life! 

1. Pick a "GOOD" parking spot

 Most people go somewhere with a parking lot at least once a day, and most of us take the time to find a "good" parking spot. I know it's purely out of convenience and time but how about we change our perception of what a "good" parking spot actually is. How about parking (if safe) as far as you can from the store and walking. Take the time that it would of taken you to find a good parking spot and park further away, that time could be used getting to the store, rather than searching for a closer spot. It is a great way of getting your exercise in without even really having to break a sweat. 

2.  Stair MASTER baby!

    Again most of encounter a set of stairs on an almost daily basis! BUT we almost always chose the elevator! I understand the convenience aspect all too well, having a toddler makes the stairs a terrifying experience for me LOL! BUT if it possible, try to go ahead and take the stairs whenever you can! It really doesn't save that much time between waiting for the elevator to come down and up and actually just taking the stairs! It can make a dramatic difference in your calories burnt throughout the day! 

3. CLEANLINESS is SKINNINESS? 

   Most of us have to do some sort of cleaning throughout the week, if you have a child, most likely every day! haha! Did you realize doing some of the house work is actually burning a good amount of CALORIES? Hmm?? Things like vacuuming, moping, yard work (push mower) cleaning windows, cleaning that takes movement etc. all of these can add up to some pretty awesome calories burnt... usually over 100 in a matter of half of an hour, sometimes less time! It ALMOST makes cleaning fun!! haha 

4. DANCE PARTY!

    This is my FAVORITE way of exercising without even trying! Xavier (my three year old) and I have an almost daily DANCE PARTY!! Where we put on the music and shake out tooshies for about 10 minutes! Not only is it a BLAST and my son gets a kick out of it, BUT I am burning some pretty serious calories!!! Do you love to dance?? Have a daily DANCE PARTY or go out with some of your friends and shake it out on the dance floor! Dancing is awesome cardio and can definitely help you see FASTER progress in your weight loss journey! 

    Every single on of these tips are EASILY incorporated into daily routines and can make a big difference in achieving your goal! Try them out and see how they can HELP you in your journey! 

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!
