Women's Fitness - What's a Fun Way to Get Your Exercise in Everyday?

Today's busy and hectic schedule sure can make it tough to workout on a daily basis. In fact, that is among the top 3 reasons why women's fitness suffers, because of their schedule. For most, you'd have to be up before the sun and greet the rooster crow in the morning in order to squeeze in a workout. And if you're any thing like me, you'd need an intervenious injection of motivation in order to consistently make it to the gym in the afternoon for a workout.

If this is the issue you're faced with, then their are some alternatives that will help you squeeze a work out in AND make it fun at the same time. The following routine will bring you back to the days of your youth and remind you how much fun you had when you were a kid. And you can have that fun again.

Women's fitness tip: Remember jumping jacks, jump rope, hopscotch, and hula hoops. (I know you're smiling already.) Those were great times when we as kids would play all day and not go inside until the sun went down...sometimes even later. Well, now you can relive those memories but this time as a big girl. Plus, you can do these fun things and get your exercise in at the same time...without leaving home.

Get a jump rope and jump for 10 minutes. Do variations like skipping, double time, etc. Do jumping jacks standing in place for a few minutes or switch it up and jump side to side and front to back. How about the hula hoop or hopscotch? You can also even just go through the motions on any of these exercises if you don't have the equipment. And your intensity level and duration of exercise is up to you depending on what your goals are. However, the minimum amount of time should be 10 minutes. And ideally you would want to attempt to achieve a moderate level of exertion. Get your heart rate to about 55 to 60% of max.

See, the main idea in going with this approach is that you are doing something to get your heart pumping and blood flowing. Just like the guys, women's fitness requires you to elevate your heart rate in order to keep your heart strong and healthy. If you did this activity 3 different times throughout the day, you will even have met the recommendation of 30 minutes per day of exercise on a nearly daily basis.

Now you may still be thinking that you have to get up too early just to go to work and there's no way you can get up any earlier. To that I would suggest that we are only talking about 10 minutes...okay maybe 15 since you'll probably want to put some shoes on and maybe clothes to work out in. But other than that...if waking up 15 minutes earlier is too difficult then how about committing to going to bed 15 minutes earlier.

Come on, we're talking about your body here, your health...your life! I'd say you're worth it. And, it really is easier than you might first think. It's like a little play time to start your day. Plus, you will feel so much better about yourself and your health after you do it.

So let's go! Jump rope, hula hoop or move your hips as if you were hooping it up, and do some jumping jacks. It's almost just like when you were a kid. Now you can consider your women's fitness routine just like it playtime. Hmmm, all that's missing is your best friend from next door!
