Just Walk Or 10 Minutes...

Members Were Sparked

Seriously this works every time. If I just don't feel like hitting the GYM I tell myself, "I'm just going to walk or do 10 minutes". Toss on your work out clothes and shoes & go out the door. I hit the gym and I am always excited that I pull through and do an amazing workout/run. I am NEVER beating myself up for going only if I don't at all!

Helps to change right out of work clothes and into gym clothes...

Thank you so much again. I've been so depressed and defeated, but 10 minutes is a window of time that I can comprehend in the dark, and it brings me to light.

Just 10 minutes helped me. I'm always getting injuries and feel like giving up, but, 10 minutes is so little that it will help me to pick myself back up again and try again. Thanks!

This is SO true! For me, it's getting into my clothes/shoes that seems to stop me; so if I tell myself, "Ah, just go for ten minutes..." once I'm doing it, it feels good and I can keep going. GREAT tip! :)

Staying Active

How to get snatches of activity throughout the day.
Walk around dining room table doing intervals, walk slow for 1 minute, walk fast for 1 minute, jog for 1 minute, continue this cycle for 10 minutes. Walk/Run up and down stairs- Walk up and down 1 minute, run up and down 30 seconds, to 10 minutes.

MORE INFORMATION:
I work from home. I don't always have the car to go to the mall to walk, nor is it convenient to walk around the neighborhood. I do snatches of exercise throughout the day up to 30 minutes. This can be in 3 to 10 minute segments. My heart monitor shows 250 calories burned on average.
