May Small Changes Challenge – Get Moving!

May Small Changes Challenge – Get Moving!

Small Changes May - Move! I Forever, For Always, No Matter What

As with my other monthly challenges, I believe making small changes over time add up to big results!  Same goes for adding exercise into the day.  A little bit of effort makes a big difference.  Forget the all or nothing attitude, as in if I don’t run a marathon each day I may as well just sit on the couch and eat potato chips! Not true.

Any exercise is better than sitting on the couch!

Why Exercise?

The weather is warming up for most of the Northern states so there really is no excuse for not getting out and getting it done.  A 30 minute walk, bike ride, run, swimming, tennis, exercise video, whatever best fits into your schedule and lifestyle.  The point is just DO something.

When is the best time to workout?  It’s a proven fact that people who get up and exercise in the morning are more likely to stick with it over the long haul as well as make healthier food choices during the day.  However, the best time to exercise is when you are most likely to get it done.

Small Changes Challenge for April: Spring Clean

    I have to admit, this topic is not one of my favorite.  I can think of one hundred activities I would rather pursue than cleaning.  I’d much rather organize something, or even do laundry!  I like to have a clean house though so my only option is to get to it – with […]

March Small Changes Challenge – Declutter!

Lent begins on Wednesday and for the past several years we have made a point to do some “unfun” tasks around the house. Mostly the projects involve doing some bigger decluttering and organizing jobs. Almost everyone has spots in their home that are magnets for clutter. If you have any number of children then you […]
