How to get a workout and clean your home at the same time.

You say that you don't have the time to workout? Well please, read on. You will be suprised.

 

Every time you clean your home you miss an opportunity for a great workout. Talk about the ultimate in multitasking. You can take care of your body and take care of your home at the same time. Add your favorite music to your own personal dance floor and you have all the equipment you need.

 

All to often we decide, yes decide, that there is not enough time to get all the things done we need to get done in a day. Perfect solution is to do two at a time if possible. When you combine your exercise with clean, you create a positive link to fitness, unless you stop cleaning your home. Here are a few exercises you can try, or look online for a few more options. It works.

 

* Lunges while you vacuum.

* Foot sweeps on hardwood floors with damp rag, cleaning for 8 to 12  times, then switch feet.

* Damp rags under each foot  and twist mop the floors.

* Push ups off the sink after cleaning up.

* Pick up the kitchen chairs and move them to the living room one at a time.

* Pick up the couch, if light weight and do some shoulder presses.

* Move the furniture when you vacuum.

* When polishing the furniture, do a certain amount of circles each direction, then switch arms and repeat.

 

These are just a few off the top of my head, but if you put a little thought to it, you will come up with a few of your very own. Even when you are putting the kids toys away, time yourself and make it an endurace test. My point is for you to be creative and have fun

 

Get started on changing your body, changing your energy, and changing your attitude about fitness. Be the best you possible and start today.

Exercise or Resistance bands, best investment you can make in your health for only a few bucks.

This truly is a great piece of exercise equipment. The price ranges from a low $5 to $15 and up, based on brand or band strength. Best investment you can make considering what you get in return.

 

Exercise bands are light weight, fit anywhere and in anything. For the frequent traveller, great fitness tool that needs to be in the suitcase or carry on luggage. Bands give you the ability to workout your entire body, legs, chest, back, shoulders, arms and core. Based on how long you make your breaks between sets and exercises, it will even help you turn your workouts into extra cardio and spent calories.

 

You can also train anywhere. Your livingroom, bedroom, a park on your way home from work. Take it when you go on a run. You can set intervals for how long you will run, then stop to do a series of exercises, before you continue. At hime, you can jump rope or even dance around for a certain amount of time, then do some band exercise. The possiblities are endless, yet so simply.

 

A pole, a door knob, leg of a couch, etc, can all be use to your advantage. They provide the anchor needed for some of the exercises you can do, and there are plenty.

 

I decided to write about this topic because I truly believe, if everyone knew of very simple ways to workout that can be done while at home, not having to take time away from their already busy schedules, they would workout. Even 15 minutes in the morning can be turned into one firestorm of a workout, but the desire must first be there. A person must be willing to make that first step, make that decision, then apply 100% of what's in you.

 

By simply purchasing three bands of various resistance (easy, medium, hard), you can design a workout or training session that allows you even greater flexibility with how you train. Drop all excuses you are allowing to hold you back, kick down the barriers you have in place and get going on getting in shape, feeling 10 years plus younger, having energy to do all the things you choose to do.
