By now you should be used to the Body-for-Life 20-minute aerobic solution. For three days every week you get to put in a great aerobic workout in less than half an hour. This takes up very little of your day and you can have your workout completed, along with a shower and change, in no time at all.
Last week we tried walking, running in place, and stair climbing. These are all workouts we can do indoors and at home. The best part about taking the Body-for-Life Challenge is the fact that you can do every workout in the comfort of your own home, whether you have a home gym or not, and eat healthy meals made from regular everyday foods. No expensive gym memberships or food delivery programs are necessary to complete the Body-for-Life Challenge and find the fit healthy person inside you.
Today, I’m challenging you to mix it up a little. You still need to do your twenty minutes of aerobic training but get creative.
– If you have a game system and Dance Dance Revolution at home, do twenty minutes of DDR game playing for your workout.
– If you have a Wii, use that and an active game for your workout.
– If you have a stereo, pop in some of your favorite music and do twenty minutes of freestyle dancing.
– If you have a treadmill, bike or other aerobic exercise equipment in your home, dust it off and use it for today’s workout.
– Another option, if you have cable, is to tune in to FitTV or find an On Demand (for Comcast subscribers) fitness program and do that workout.
The point is to keep things fresh and not let your program get stale. If you ever get tired of walking up and down stairs, walking around the house or running in place, just come back to this list and get creative.
Exercise doesn’t have to be a drag. It is only twenty minutes out of your day – enjoy it!
