Tip #2

Exercising....ughhh!!
Yeah I dont like it either...unless it's something fun like biking or trail running, etc. And as we all know one can rarely find time for that on a daily basis.
SO.... Here is you challenge for the week...ACTIVITY- in general!!
But as that is hard to gauge here is something you can all try that will help to make the most of your relaxation time!
While watching you favorite shows each evening...which I would be willing to bet you all do, after the kiddos have retired, try to set side one 30min block to exercise in front of the TV!
Tracie and I have tried this a few times and once you get over the embarrasement of doing sit-ups and push-ups in front of your partner it isnt too bad!
Now start out easy so that on day 2 your arms and abs dont hurt so bad that you can justify not doing them again!
Do a couple of reps of 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups, maybe 2 or 3 to start.
Then I also like to stretch while catching my breath between sets! Strecthing is awesome...doesn't burn a lot of calories, but it will make you feel tons better and lead you to want to workout more!!
Start with these sets and go from there...build on it day by day ,little by little...you will find yourself getting stronger and it getting easier I promise!
Then feel free to throw in anything else, leg lifts, squats, chair dips!!
Have fun with it!!
Good luck and do it at the risk of looking dumb to your PEEPING TOMS!!

ps- I dont recommend jumping jack, unless you want to deal with screaming kids during American Idol (or your fav show!)
