Feb. Week 4 Day 1&2

Wow, it is already the last week of February. Spring is just around the corner (which is hard to believe when many of us are seeing snow again!). But the last week also means having an exercise schedule worked out for you.

If you are still having difficulty with your schedule and routine, do not worry. Remember, you want to make it fun and easy. And do not forget, you can do a workout while doing something else.

Here are a few examples:
  1. Go up and down on your tiptoes while cooking dinner to workout your calves.
  2. Do lunges while you walk across the living room.
  3. Do bicep curls with the laundry basket while you carry it through the house.
  4. Vacuum.
  5. Do a squat against the wall while you wait for your preschooler to go potty.
  6. Sit on an exercise ball at your desk or while you watch TV to work your abs.
  7. Park far way from the entrance and walk briskly.

These are just a few examples. If you really stop and think you will find many ways to add to your exercise routine. Please make sure you get in cardio even if it is by cleaning the house or chasing your child around the park or outside. Just choose to get up and move.

Please avoid:

  1. Sitting on the bench at the park while you watch your kids run around.
  2. Sitting on the couch for two hours to watch TV instead of exercising while watching TV.
  3. Use being tired as an excuse.
  4. Sitting in the car while your child practices, go walk around.
  5. Sitting while playing the Wii.
  6. Doing nothing.

I want you to have a plan before the end of this week. Please do not hesitate to ask for help. Let's choose to get in better health and better shape.


February Action Plan
Choose an exercise routine and program that fits your schedule.

Week 4 Action Plan
Choose to find an exercise buddy to hold you accountable and tell you to get off your butt.
Memorize "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come" Prov.31:25


Week 4 Day 1&2
Choose to thank God for allowing you to be able to get out and exercise.
Choose to read Prov. 31:10-31. Can you laugh at days to come? Do you have your Physical Strength but also find strength in the Lord?
Choose to do a chore workout.
Choose to clean up the kitchen and do a Family 15.
Choose to go to bed on time.
