Even with all the chores that farm life brings, I still need to find time to work out. I like to walk but sometimes it can be a bit boring. Don’t you agree? Let me share a few tips I have found to break up the ho-hum walking workout.
Get off the treadmill. Get outside and walk. Now with the days getting longer, as soon as I get home I change into my sneakers and take walks along the edge of the fields. Don’t live on a farm? No problem. How about the park, or track. Too cold? Head out to the mall and walk some laps.
Watch TV. Instead of keeping your eyes on the treadmill timer, watch your favorite show. You’ll become so engrossed and viola, 30 minutes have flown by!
Change is good. Got stairs? Try walking up and down your stairs, then the treadmill, jumping rope, walk around your house, back on the treadmill or whatever you can think of. Mix the varied activities over 30 minutes. Don’t forget to stretch before and cool down after.
Listen to music. Get out your mp3 players and listen to your favorite tunes that make you want to get moving. You’ll be so distracted by the music that your workout will be over in no time!
