FITNESS FRIDAY 9/13/19 - (FITNESS IN 10 MINUTES OR LESS!)
HEY EVERYONE!
WELCOME TO FITNESS FRIDAY!...
**Today we will talk about getting in some activity and fitness when you are a little cramped on time.. .Or for when you simply feel un-motivated, here's a way to "squeeze" something in, in 10 minutes or less!
**Theres always time for exercise! Incorporate these small moves into your everyday life.
**Few of us can find time for a daily hour-long workout (though if youre one of those who can – please share your time-saving secrets with others!). For the rest, snatching moments of downtime throughout the day can be a valuable way to sneak in activity.
**Depending on how much time youve got – 3 minutes, 5, or 10 – and where you are (yes, even a gas station pit stop offers opportunities!), choose one of the activities below. We like to think of these sneaky moves as calorie-burning multi-tasking
If youve got 3 minutes…
At home:
TV commercial breaks were meant for sit-ups — and microwaving a meal is the perfect time for squats. See how many you can do.
At the office:
Making copies? Give your legs a mini workout. Do a right leg lift, then a left. Repeat. The more copies, the better the toning!
Out and about:
Skip the drive-thru at the cleaners, bank or pharmacy. The time it takes to park the car, walk in and get what you need is time well spent.
If youve got 5 minutes…
At home:
Dont just watch water boil. Do some leg lunges or kitchen-chair dips to pass the time.
At the office:
Its not just a stapler or a heavy book, its a dumbbell! And its ideal for bicep and tricep moves.
Out and about:
Filling the tank? Why not fill the time with step-ups on the curb or lunges by your bumper.
If youve got 10 minutes…
At home:
Take on a few DIY tasks: Vacuum the house, mow your lawn or weed the flower beds.
At the office:
Break time? Take it outside. Create mini walking routes that energize your body as well as your mind.
tOut and about:
Maximize your mall time. Whatever store you are headed to, enter from the opposite side of the building and walk to get there!
HOW DO "YOU" SQUEEZE IN "FITNESS" IN 10 MINUTES OR LESS?
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER EASY WAYS YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS WHEN YOU FEEL UN-MOTIVATED?!
@PoliteOcean, hi!
When I have 10 minutes or less, and I am at home (maybe I'm waiting for water to boil or I'm cooking?) I do push-ups against the kitchen counter. Like... I stand in an angle, and push myself up on my arms and back down again. And I can feel that the next day, in my arms, so I think it's a good workout :)

Thats awesome!... Its great that you are finding ways to incorporate activity during times when most people don't think about it much. And its even better that too that you are actually "feeling" it, so that you know that its something that is working for you!... Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
