Don't Just Sit There!

One of the biggest changes I've made in the past few weeks is that I rarely remain in one spot for too long. Even at the computer, which is the spot that I probably frequent the most in a single day, I'm contracting and sucking in my abs, keeping them somewhat engaged as much as I can. It's funny how looking at a single motivating picture can make you suck that jiggle in without even really thinking about it.

I've thought a lot about my past habits and about constantly making the choice to be lazy. Because, yes, it's a choice. And I'm not talking about lounging on the couch and eating bonbons all day, because most of us have a more hectic routine than that. What I am talking about is using free time better.

For example: If I know that I have a few minutes at any time during the day, the least I can do is crank out a nice set of jumping jacks or mountain climbers. Or, if I am just watching a movie at the end of the day once the kiddos are asleep I will go down on the floor and stretch or do some sit-ups (which is really quite enjoyable because you have something to keep your mind interested in).

So, I challenge you: Don't just sit there! There are plenty of at-home exercises to get you looking fabulous. No more excuses, no more procrastination. It's time to make those healthy changes and get fit!
