Workout with an everyday activity

By Kashi Read more cardio, daily challenge, heart health, and workouts
Challenge Yourself for: 24 Hours

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._

    Plan to get out and rollerblade for 30 minutes, then play sand volleyball for 2 hours. I like playing 3 or 4 at most, gives me a great workout.

    I’m working on walking at least 30 minutes a day. I want to add in some toning exercises a few times a week as well.

    Hi all,
    I’m new to this list too, and today I had an hour long ballroom dancing private lesson. What an amazing form of exercise, and one that I love doing grin

    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’m trying to get back to exercising and atleast walking on the treadmill about 1/2 an hr. to start and hopefully work my way up. I’m alone and don’t get out much and it’s hard to motivarte myself so I look forward to helpful encouragement from anyone who’s willing to help me out here.

    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.
