Twenty Ways to Stay Fit by Phyllis Wasserman
Exercise is easier than ever. Fitness can be fun, summer or winter. Here are 20 easy and fun ways to start.
1. Take a walk. On a warm summer evening, take a walk with someone you love. Walking slowly, or briskly, can help burn calories from a big dinner.
2. Get up earlier than everyone else. Do some aerobic exercise by yourself. Use a workout video or walk the dog.
3. If you have a pool, play basketball or volleyball in the pool. Try kicking, it tones your butt.
4. Garden. Digging in the dirt burns calories and can grow you some very nice vegetables to eat in the fall. Care for it each day.
5. Go to the beach. Walking on sand will improve the calve muscles. And your legs will look great. Build a sand castle.
6. Take your children to the park. If the slides are big enough, go on one with them. Play hide-and-seek
7. Start a new hobby. Tennis, badminton, or table tennis. If you can, try golf or rafting.
8. Walk up and down the stairs in your house.
9. Take your dog for a long walk.
10. Go grocery shopping. It really burns calories when you walk up and down the aisles pushing that full cart.
11. Organize a group run with your co-workers or neighbors.
12. When you have family over for a backyard barbeque, plan activities. Set up a net. Use it for badminton or volleyball. Buy a small bowling set for the kids.
13. Set a goal to always be active every day of the week.
14. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. This way you are more likely to move faster and do more.
15. Drink plenty of water. When you exercise you need 4 to 6 ounces every 15 minutes.
16. Dress in layers. If you're going for that morning run, you may want to remove a few layers as you heat up.
17. Take care of your feet. Running shoes should always fit well and not give you blisters.
18. Wear sunscreen when outdoors. Walking on the beach, is fun. But a sunburn that night is not.
19. Whether biking, hiking or playing ball in the park, you can become dehydrated easily. Always carry extra water with you.
20. If you have a church group, get them interested in outdoor athletic activities, like croquet, horseshoes or ping pong.
