What Are You Doing For National Health and Fitness Month

We are now 11 days into May, what have you been doing to celebrate National Health and Fitness Month?! Back in our post were we first informed you about May being National Health and Fitness Month, check here for a refresher.

We told you it doesn’t matter where your workouts took place, as long as you were up and moving.

It’s all about fitting fitness into your daily life. Here are a few tips from this slideshow for a few ways you can sneak in some calorie burning moves. Here’s my favorite:

Walk more! No matter what you are doing or where you are going, there is always ways to walk more. You can do this by taking the stairs over the elevator or escalator. Park your car farther way at the grocery store. Take a stroll around the block after dinner. Walk to the gas station for those goodies, instead of taking your car.

Any workout is better than no workout. Whether it is a couple 15-minute workouts throughout your day, or simply one 1-hour workout, they all make a difference. I have found working out at home makes it easier to squeeze in a few shorter workouts. I found a great article about how working out at home can be easier than you think. Check it out here.

Having your own personal home exercise equipment makes it easier to fit in the workouts. I’ve found having my own treadmill makes me more likely to use it than when I had to drive back and forth to the gym.

Many days you only have 30 minutes, so who wants to waste any of that time driving to and from a gym. I will jump on my treadmill for 20 minutes, taking 5 minutes to get ready and another 5 to get back to my other clothes. I try to do this once in the morning and once more during the day, this comes out to be a 40 minute workout daily!

So that is what I am doing to stay active for National Health and Fitness Month, what are you doing?!
