The Give-Me-Five Monday meme is hosted by Becca and is designed to share fun information in a short list. This week’s topic was suggested by Joyce at Mom’s Musings.
Give Me Five ways to fit exercise into your life.
- Start by rearranging your schedule so you make time for 30 minutes of exercise each day. You can always find 30 minutes if you try hard enough!
- Walk the dogs around the block or a couple of blocks.
- Take several quick trips up and down the stairs several times a day.
- Park as far away from the entrance to any store as possible.
- Do leg lifts or free weights for your arms while you’re watching TV at night.
Oh boy, talk about excuses for not doing any of these five things; I;m terrible! But my day job normally involves quite a bit of exercise; I work in maintenance, so I do get some exercise during the week, but certainly not as much as I should…
Nice list, Tamy. And THANK YOU for linking to my blog. 🙂
Yeah, these are good too! I live on the second floor and usually plan everything around making the least number of trips up or down as possible in a day! I *need* to just buck up and get up in the morning to walk on my treadmill. I HAVE A TREADMILL FOR GOODNESS SAKES! I got it for free, absolutely free!
I think that just goes to show how we don’t appreciate the gifts God gives us. Shame on me!
Great GM5 🙂
How sad is it that I actually avoid the stairs in our house. Ugh! 😉
Great list! I have a dog and I never thought of walking it in my list.
I agree that parking far away from the store you’re going to is a great idea! 🙂
Those are all great ideas! I think we all thought of the parking idea, but I don’t usually follow it. I should start. I should go run up and down the stairs now!
