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.

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.
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 painted the garage door and trim today. Up the ladder, down the ladder for about 6 hours. It feels good to work outdoors on a beautiful day. Now I’m pretty beat. Ready for more tommorrow.

not quite an every day activity, but today I biked into work rather than taking the train. looking forward to the ride back home too.
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.
Today I vaccuumed the house, dusted the furniture, washed and put away everyones laundry and organized a couple rooms. Kept me busy and active, as well as made the environment of my house cleaner.
I helped cleaning my house today, then I jogged 5 miles..
It felt real good!!!
I walked my two dogs for 2 miles this morning and will work out this late afternoon. Muscle groups: Back and biceps.
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
Starting to walk as my break for work. 30 minute walk today. Will walk my dogs tonight after my 90 minute yoga class. I LOVE YOGA DAYS!
housework counts! and running after kids, but I will be walking daily.
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.
