sneaky exercises

Get in some "sneaky exercises". What I mean by this is, in your downtime, the time you set aside to relax and watch tv or sit on your poarch, or whatever it is that you do for relaxation, sneak in a little exercising that is NOT counted for your daily routine. You can buy an exercise machine that fits in your living room, one that is easy to use, like an eliptical bike, a treadmill, or an ab machine (there are many different ones) that you use while you are watching tv (for example) or if you don't have or want a machine, then just do floor exercises, jumping jacks, march in place, go for a stroll, or create your own exercises right there on the couch.

It's best to stay as active as you can all day long, but even in the lazy hours of the day, keeping your body in some kind of motion can get you closer to your goals a lot quicker.

Don't count this towards your daily exercise, this is just a little extra to keep you strong, motivated and stimulated. Did you know that if you are trying to solve problems in your head or think about goals, things you want to achieve or reflect on your day and life choices, you can solve more problems and come to more elaborate realisations if your body is in motion while you are doing it! It may sound strange, but it makes sense. When you exercise you are releasing endorphins and serotonine, you are stimulating your body and brain, and more oxygen is getting to your brain. This causes you to think clearer, cause you to be more focused and you are more likely to look at things from a positive perspective and with a better understanding.

Try it the next time you need to solve something. Don't put too much thought into it, just do it, think about your problem and work it out in your head while you're exercising. You'll keep your body moving without any effort and you'll come to a clearer understanding of whatever you're trying to solved.
