Adults need exercise. Full stop. No wiggle room. That statement is a hill I will die on.
You, reading this, hey! You need exercise.
Sometimes though, adults over-complicate exercise. There’s this idea that is has to be a HIIT workout, a long run, or a full-on spin class to “count” as exercise. Otherwise, eh, not worth it. And the “too busy” excuse becomes just too easy of an excuse.
Wrong. Movement is what matters. And ALL movement counts.
Join in for some fun play – or walk laps while the kids play. Everyone wins!
My latest blog for Fargo Mom takes a note from the best exercisers of all-time: kids. They don’t make it complicated, they play! Kids are inherently built to move. And they do. Then, they move some more.
If you have kids and feel “too busy” to exercise, here are 10 ideas to make time for exercise, from the original Fargo Mom post. It’s 10 easy and simple ways to exercise – by combining quality time with your kids and movement.
If you don’t have kids, feel free to steal an idea or this concept. Go for a bike ride. Join a rec soccer league. There’s an activity, a sport, or an exercise out there for everyone to enjoy.
And, if all else fails, go back to my philosophy: THEE most underrated exercise of all time is walking. Go for a walk.
That’s enough for now. Until next time,
