Okay, it’s Thanksgiving week. We all know we’re about to consume more than usual, so let’s combat that with a little extra exercise. It will help keep the pounds off and the stress at bay. So here in the challenge:
Starting today for seven days straight do at least 30-minutes of exercise. Any exercise of your choice, but get that body moving. If you want a harder challenge, consider adding 30-minutes a day to your regular routine.
For one week only take the stairs–no elevators, no escalators. This may mean you have to walk a little further in a building to get to the stairs, but it will be worth it. Maybe by the end of the week you’ll want to take the stairs forever.
Do you work in an office building with some stairs? On your lunch break walk up a few flights–maybe five, maybe ten, maybe fifty. Listen to your body.
Have stairs in your house? At least one day a week make a point to go up and down them (carefully) five, ten, or fifty times.
Make notice of how many times you typically go up and down the stairs in your house.
Okay, I’m realizing I could continue with this fairly easily. But the challenge worked. I’m already smiling and happy […]
