Tip of the day: Be Active!
You really do not have to sport the Spandex shorts and head to the gym every day. There is no reason to do that.
Did you know that exercise is cumulative? You can go for a 15 minute jog on your treadmill in the morning. Then take a 15 minute walk on your lunch break. Go for a 15 minute bike ride with your kids in the afternoon. Or even take a walk in the evening with a friend. All of those activities count. Pick a few of them to do each day and they will add up to a nice workout!
If nothing else, wake up and do a few pushups and sit ups. Get that heart rate pumping with some jumping jacks. Better yet, get yourself a jump rope and do a few intervals (take your heart rate up and then let it come back down - repeating 6-8 times) to help get that fat burning mode up and running.
It is summer time. Take advantage of the beautiful weather. Get outside with your kids, be a good example to them and show them the benefits of being active!
