So, when it comes down to it many people wonder how I manage my time... and I can definitely see how on the outside it would look amazing; but I have been doing it for years and adding just one thing at a time, so it just seems normal busy to me.
So, with homeschooling, living on a primal diet, keeping a home, and working a full time job and a part time job (running my own businesses) how can I have time to fit in exercise at all? Well the answer is I am trying not to make it too complicated. I walk the dogs when I can, I have my laundry room on a different floor, so I naturally have to go up and down the stairs several times for that and to get to the living space... I guess I am just simply trying to fit in exercise one step at a time.
I am trying to keep toned muscles to assist in my metabolism department and if you could see me while I am working and working out I would be quite a sight to be seen. There was a resistance band I saw some time ago that inspired me to find ways to use resistance bands to work out while I am typing, and this is what I have so far:
1. I wrap my legs together at the knees with the resistance bands and spend about a half an hour attempting to pull my legs apart.
2. I use the arm wrests on my chair and wrap the resistance bands around the arms to the chair and then my legs in a way that creates resistance on my inner thighs, and I spent about a half an hour attempting to pull my legs together.
3. I wrap myself to the chair and then I sit on the very edge of the chair. I spend about an hour attempting to sit forward and slowly leaning backwards against the resistance again to help tone in both directions.
Keep in mind I do all of this while I am typing, so I am quite sure anyone could find a way to adapt and fit a little bit of resistance training into their lives. I am attempting to do a few push ups everyday, but that is definitely an area to grow in!
I would love to hear any ideas anyone else has about staying fit at their desk!
