How many times have you said “I’m just too busy” to exercise? Caregivers’ days are busier than most. But, that’s still no excuse for not taking care of yourself. We CAN spare 10-minutes of our day, right? Here are some ideas to sneak in exercises you can do in just ten (but, you may want to keep going after you get going)!
- Go for a brisk walk (outdoors, mall, office building; doesn’t matter where if you sustain it to get your heart rate up)
- Forego lunch with a friend for a walk or a visit to your local gym with your friend
- Pop in your favorite workout DVD — even if you can only do 10 or 15 minutes of it
- What’s cheap, portable and provides a quick calorie burn? A jump rope. Keep it with you and surprise yourself at how many times you can use it!
all my best,
