Boy, I didn't do a whole lot of marching yesterday. It just so happened that my work project kept my derriere glued to the chair all day and well into the night. I did stop down to eat a healthy mid-morning snack of cheesecake (I'm not proud of myself) and I broke down and had a Pepsi (and chips) with my lunch. I will spare you the details of my stress-ridden diet yesterday and suffice to say that I'm feeling a bit sluggish today.
But in the spirit of getting back in step, I checked out YouTube for a 5 minute workout that I would have No Excuse for not doing. I found Geralyn Coopersmith had a great little workout that inspired me to get moving.
Hey, even I can find 5 minutes, especially if I won't have to sweat too much.
I don't have the stretchy thing, but just doing the movements along with Geralyn was helpful. Plus, she doesn't suffer from Over Perkiness or Over Excitedness, two conditions which commonly ail most exercise instructors. It hurts me to watch many of them. Poor, poor things.
Today's Small Thing is to spend five minutes doing some simple exercises. You probably know your own trouble-spots without me having to tell you to do a few butt-crunches or tummy-crunches. But more important than working the trouble-spots is to just get moving...on purpose. Get your heart-rate up a notch with some big movements and remind the old Bod that oxygen in the blood feels good.
POINTS: 30 for a 5 minute "workout"
BONUS: 10 if you can get someone to do it with you. And yes, little people count.
40 pts max.
Do you have an exercise routine? What do you do to stay in shape?
