Who needs the gym when you…
If you think about it you don’t have to be in a gym to get a good workout. There are numerous physical activities that can be done outside of the gym.
Cutting grass
For example, this past Monday the riding mower wasn’t cooperating which meant two acres of land was cut with the push mower. They day was hot & humid however the grass got cut and it was a great workout.
Gardening
We don’t have as much garden as we used to. It’s a little over an acre not but at an acre there is still plenty that needs to be tended to in the garden you can usually find us out there picking string beans, green beans, tomatoes, kale, collards, lettuce, spraying plants with the homemade natural bug repellent (yeah it works) and of course weeding the garden.
Playing outdoors
We are all familiar with that concept right? My daughter and I spend most of our days outdoors it usually involves me chasing after her as she screams with laughter if I catch her I get to tickle her. Yeah my daughter is easy to please.
Will I go to the gym today?
I was up until 3:00 this morning so I imagine that I might not make it into the gym today; however, I still will be exercising at home. There are plenty of things to do around the house such as gardening, playing outdoors, and working out with my free weights.
I try to go to the gym at least four days, a week there are times when I don’t want to when that happens I make sure I engage in some type of exercise at home. I don’t put off my fitness routine.
The majority of the activity I do around the house is cardio activity which is a great overall workout, and it’s guaranteed to burn those calories. I also have weights that I’ve purchased when I want to lift.
Besides, pregnancy I’m still at the same weight I was when I first entered college. That was seventeen years ago. I always made exercise a priority so now missing my time exercising will make me feel guilty. I also realize that it is good for my health.
It’s a beautiful day outside so I imagine I’ll be grilling outdoors. That should make my daughter happy she has been asking me to do it for a few days.
Question: What’s on your fitness menu today?
