Take the Stairs

Last week a client told me about a group of people at her office that have started a “Stairs Club.” During lunch or short breaks they take the stairs. She works in a seven story building and this group goes up and down together multiple times. It’s a wonderful way to take a little break and move the body, and the weather can never interfere with your fitness routine. Plus, working out with a group always makes it easier and makes the time fly by. It’s also a great way to make time for exercise in a busy day.

Exercise is a Bad Word

If you get turned off by the thought of exercising don’t jump into an exercise routine you’re going to hate. Instead, don’t exercise, just get moving. Start moving. A walk doesn’t have to be exercise. A stretch doesn’t have to be exercise.

Don’t exercise: MOVE.

Travel and Exercise

This time of year a lot of us will take long car, train or plane rides. When you travel you don’t have to forgo exercise. You can stretch in the airport or at the gas station. Stop along the way to take a short stroll and see what you’ve been passing by at 65-miles-per-hour.

Before I left Peru, lots of people asked if I would do Pilates and keep my core engaged while traveling. “Of course,” I told them. And I usually do. Unfortunately, in Peru I often found myself sick from the altitude, motion, or food. The last thing I was thinking about was whether or not my core was engaged. Sometimes life just doesn’t work out the way we planned, in which case, we have to try not to get too discouraged.

I will say, though, that for a 10 hour car ride, I was very grateful for a strong kegel. I guess I wasn’t completely disengaged.
