Do Two At Once

Members Were Sparked

Do two exercises together to not get bored. For example, this evening, my hucband and I plan to take a short hike to the beach and go swimming and then hike back to the truck. We get to see some scenery and go swimming at the same time!

Hi there, Peggie! My name is Brooke, and I really like your post about doing something with your husband, regarding swimming and the support you provide each other. I love swimming, and find it to be the only exercise, that I can do safely, with my current weight, and physical challenges.
It is a breath of fresh air, to see that there are couples who still do things, together. I live alone and haven't been in a relationship, for over twenty years. It is very lonely at times. Well, Kudos to you, and I applaud your working together, for each other. God Bless, you.

Start slow

Start with one or two new habits and once those are actually habits and I do them without thinking, I add a new one.

MORE INFORMATION:
I found out that if I try to start too many new things at once, I can't keep up and make it into a habit. But I can focus on one or two new things at a time.

Soup Efficiency

When making a soup that requires chopped veggies, I make two different ones that require the same (or similar) ones. I then have two different soups for the week, and I get the cutting done once! (The Olive Garden Minestrone and a Wild Rice Soup work for me.)
