Mix It Up

Members Were Sparked

I pick something that is motivating for me at the moment. For example I might only let myself read a special book while working out on the stationary bike. When the book is done, I might set a new mini goal of sticking to 30 minutes of cardio 5 times a weeks for 3 weeks before I can get some cute new exercise pants. Mini goals help.

MORE INFORMATION:
Mix it up using low or no cost motivators to keep from being bored.

Do calisthenics during the commercial breaks when you are watching TV. The idea is to exercise intensely for the length of the break, as one would do in interval training.

MORE INFORMATION:
Exercises: Jumping jacks, push-ups, squats, lunges, etc.

Wall push-ups

Wall push-ups are a good way to get more upper-body exercise when you may not have time for floor push-ups, or maybe you're not so great at floor push-ups. They benefit chest, shoulders, arms/triceps, and core muscles. Step back just a little (safely) to "lean into the wall" more, and make the push-ups a bit more challenging. If you need to protect a wall from natural oil from your hands, try wearing non-slip or rubber gloves.

Top of every hour quickie.

At the top of every hour stop do 25 sit ups and 25 push ups. If you can't do a real push up do the modified ones. This will not only get you into doing some exercise every day but it will also help you to increase the amount of push ups and sit ups you can do. Also helps to add stuff to your Fitness calculator.
