I do some type of exercise every day even if it is only 10 minutes. 10 minutes is better than no minutes.
I have found some great videos here on SP to use on rainy days. Also I use these videos for strength training. I follow the seated videos usually because I have a hard time getting down on a mat.

I am getting out on my bike more and like that a lot and I try to walk at least 4 days a week.

So today I did 6 km on the bike then walked 2km with my granddaughter at school They had a beautiful program at their school for Grandparents day then we went on the Terry Fox walk together.
It was a beautiful day to be outside.

Feeling so energetic so I think I'll go bike for another 2km.


I really hope everyone is finding activities that you enjoy. Hang in there. You'll feel even better when you get to week 2, 3 and 4.

Third day in a row of 10 minutes of exercise. It's either walking or on my stationary bike. This week has been bike because it 's been quite warm out and I have asthma. But 10 minutes is doable no matter what season, day, etc. Thanks for the ideas!

Well I have to say so far I am doing great on my 10 minute commit while at work. i am sad to report that I didn't do any "fitness" on the weekend, unless you count running after a 16 month old baby all day.

This weekend I WILL get up and WALK for 30 minutes, even if I am pushing the baby in the stroller at the park.

Here is to all you wonderful people, who like me are working on a new and improved you. Way to go and keep up the awesome job!!

for some reason 10 minutes is the perfect mental block breaker to exercise. 10 minutes for me is walking to a neighbor down in a different part of my neighborhood. Better yet - find a neighborhood group to walk with. If no one wants to walk then walk to the neighborhood event (block party, etc). Somehow 10 minutes usually flys by!
