GOAL: Be active for 30 minutes a day, 6 days per week.
1. TEN OF SOMETHINGS. Take mini-breaks every hour to do Ten of something. Esp if you work at a desk. 10 calf raises, 10 wall pushups, 10 desk tricep dips, 10 mini-jumping jacks, 10 standing crunches. So many options. Our bodies hate sitting around all day. "Ten of Something" makes them happy and earns major mermaid stickers.
2. WOBBLE CUSHION. Oh! And have you tried a wobble cushion? We’re wobbling around on ours right now. It’s a free core workout and your back will heart you for it. And it makes sitting still more fun — cuz you don't have to sit still! “Brb Googling that now.” Do it!
3. ATTS. Always Take the Stairs.
4. BAD SPACES ARE GOOD. Park far away when you’re running errands. Bonus, you don’t have to wait for that chick to pull out of that space. Double bonus: Nobody scratches your car. (Unless there’s
some jerk going around keying cars that are parked far away.)
5. FLATS ARE FRIENDS. When you wear flats you’re more likely to walk more during the day. Extra walking is one of the easiest ways to burn some extra cals. #YES
6. THE WALK AND TALK. Have a call to make? Make it on a walk. Can’t get outside? Do the walk and pace. (Bonus: If you walk briskly and get your heart rate up this counts as part of your 30 minutes.) These upcoming two also count as part of your 30 minutes.
7. FRIEND DATES. Move friend dates from the restaurant to the street. Walking with a bestie is like getting paid to hang out in exercise dollars. #freemoney
8. “FRIEND” DATES. Your TV character friends are almost as good of an exercise distraction as your real ones. Get any last minutes of the day’s workout in while you zone out.
