I'm sure by now you're starting to realize a pattern here. That pattern is...just how easy it is to exercise without even knowing it! I'm going to share a story with you about what happened to me over my weekend, and see if you can relate to the situation I went through.
It seemed to be one of those days I was constantly on the go. With like next to nothing in the house I set out to do the grocery shopping. After getting that all done, the mail came. It had been a very busy day for everyone so we decided to make it a pizza night.
Of course with no cash on hand I ran to the ATM. I the phoned in the pizza order then went to get the pizza. Mind you we have 35 steps. So let's calculate that up and see just how many stairs I climbed that day.
Activity 1: Grocery Shopping 70 Steps
Activity 2: Getting the Mail 70 Steps
Activity 3: Go to the ATM 70 Steps
Activity 4: Picking up the Pizza 70 Steps
Total: 280
That's 280 stairs on just doing normal everyday activity. So I really don't need to worry about working those leg muscles anymore with an actual "workout" because I already got a workout!
You might say, "But I don't have that many stairs." Okay, I'll give you that. We've got to use what we got. Even if you only have one step you can make a workout of it.
Why make it more difficult to workout than it has to be and set people up to fail!
This this my tip for the day on "Stepping It Made Easy".
