Workout with an everyday activity
You don’t have to go to a gym to get your heart rate up. Many everyday activities help you accomplish this goal — and they don’t cost a thing. Today, make the effort to do something that gets your heart rate up for 15-30 minutes. Here are some ideas to get you started: 1) mow the lawn, 2) weed the garden, 3) vacuum, 4) scrub the tub/floors/sinks, 5) play tag with your kids, 6) dance, 7) walk your dog…. If you think of more activities, share them with everyone here. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

New to this list. I am trying to walk every day. Today I walked for one hour. Of coure, I have a beautiful place to walk so it doesn’t lend itself to making escuses for not moving.

I did go to the gym today. A 650 calorie workout on the cross trainer, bike, threadmill and rowing machine definitely got my heart rate up. I managed 140 for most of the workout and 165 when running on the threadmill.
