Keeping it on the "Down Low"


First off, congratulations to each and every one of you for embarking on this awesome fitness journey! No doubt about it, these next few weeks are going to be tough, but make no mistake: you ARE tougher and you WILL get through and feel better afterwards!

You have made a conscientious decision to visualize your goals, track your workouts, and monitor your diet. Here are some ways to sneak in some extra exercise because as you know, every little bit counts! Work out on the “down low” and watch that scale get low, low, low!

- You already eschew elevators for the stairs, get that heart rate up and take those stairs two at a time!

- Get more out of your groceries! Hold a bag in each hand and do some bicep curls! (Bonus points if you do it in the store)

- Ladies, put on your highest heels and wear them while you’re walking around the house to work those calves! (Guys, we won’t judge if you want to do this too)

- Keep a tennis ball under your desk, kick your shoes off, and roll it under the arch of your foot (not really a workout, but it feels good!)
