What I did to workout today…
I had a really busy day and I knew I wouldn’t be able to shower after a normal workout, between my regular life events, so I made my regular life events into workouts….it was actually a fun challenge.
I spent 2 ½ hours at the Children’s Museum downtown with my nephews and 4 other kids. There’s LOTS of bending down when you’re in a building that has made everything kid-sized so I decided that, instead of bending over, I’d squat down each time…. I’m not kidding I can actually feel it in my legs tonight. Then, I was carrying my 18lb nephew and did bicep curls and lifts with him…. Haha, it’s amazing how you can do these things with an infant and people think you’re just goofing around with him! There was honestly one point where he got too heavy for me, infants are GREAT arm workouts.
Then, I got home and decided the house needed a good cleaning so I went to town on that. I did the floors and appliances which all took elbow grease.
Finally, I shoveled the front steps and walk- way. (not too much snow, but still some movement)
All in all, I would guess that I got in AT LEAST the amount I normally would on a Saturday and then, when you couple that with an entire day of movement in general (as opposed to sitting on the couch reading or watching tv), I’d say I probably got more of a workout and, it was really fun.
This week I’m going to see how I can make more “normal life things” into workouts.
