Microwave Exercise

This Sparked Me!

Instead of standing at the microwave watching your lunch heat up, walk! Anytime I put something in the microwave, I walk back and forth through the house. Every 2, 3, 5 minute walk is just a little more movement in the day!

    emoticon I'm surprised that there isn't a path worn in the floor in front of my microwave where I walk in circles while things are cooking!!

    Jumping Jacks is a good idea! I can't do impact exercises but in addition to the walking, I do boxing type arm moves and other upper body exercises. I just get less bored walking. :D
