Multitasking Your Workout
Have you endlessly tried to fit your workout into your day, only to find that you had too many things to do, and exercising was last on your to-do list? It is time to multitask for your health and wellness.
Today I want to encourage you to multitask in order to fit your exercise into your daily routine. I feel that if I apply myself, and my multitasking skills, I can accomplish everything. Or so I think. I decided that I will not leave out my exercise ever again since it makes me feel so good at the end of the day.
There are many things that you can do while you are exercising. A simple task would be to check your voicemail messages from the office, you can even return some phone calls while you walk on the treadmill. You may have to explain at first that you are on the treadmill, but you felt that working out and returning their call were both very important. It seems that I never get a chance to read all the magazines that I subscribe to, so I will read my magazines while I am riding a stationary bike. I have also been known to fill out my daily to-do list while riding at the gym. While I was in Los Angeles I was fortunate enough to workout at a gym that had computers on their equipment, I was able to check my email, search the web, and the man next to me was even bidding on a watch on e-bay.
At times you may find that you are to busy running the children to their activities and do not have time to exercise. But that is no excuse! It would be very easy to multitask while at the soccer game. For example, walk briskly up and down the sidelines at the soccer field, while the kids are playing. Also, be sure to keep comfortable shoes in your car so that you can get your run in while the children are at dance class or karate lesson.
The most important lesson of multitasking your workout is to get moving. Do something to improve your health. Be sure to efficiently maximize your time and effort during each day.
