Last year on Facebook, I was bombarded with the 30 day squat challenge and similar nonsense. It all sounded great! But I didn't have the willpower, let alone any strength in my legs to begin with....
This is the problem I find with most exercise programmes and health crazes. It's fine if you're reasonably fit to begin with, and having all that spare time is a definite plus. But not all of us do, so what then?
1. Walk on the spot whilst brushing your teeth/hair etc. Don't worry if you don't bring your knees up really high, at least you're moving!
2. Housework is brilliant exercise in itself, but to burn some extra calories, dance at the same time. And sing! I don't know if that helps, but it makes it all more fun.
3. If you think you can make it, get up those stairs as fast as you can. Or take them two at a time, show them who's the boss!
4. If you're alone (or don't mind people witnessing a mad moment) just stop what you're doing and do 10 star jumps. It takes seconds and the more you do in a day, the better.
5. Butt clenches can be done any time, anywhere, to tone up those cheeks.
6. Be more adventurous when it comes to sex. Sexercise is fun and calorie-burning, but you won't burn as many by just lying there. Try the Pinwheel or the Head Game ;-). Go on, Google it, you know you want to!
