How To Do Wednesday: Fun Summer Fitness Activity Ideas

-

In 2014, my New Years resolution was to become more fit. I am proud to stay that I have stuck with that and continued exercising regularly. While I don't always make it to the gym, I do exercise at home 4-5 days per week. Now, while I try to maintain a regular fitness routine, I just don't always have the time or energy to dedicate to a hard workout. If you work, have a family, or both I know you can relate.

The list below applies to all ages and are activities that most of you have done before. For someone with a busy schedule, rotating these ideas would be a great way to stay fit and spend quality time with family or friends.

Activities
  1. Hula Hooping
  2. Jumping Rope
  3. Walking or Hiking
  4. Jogging or Running
  5. Swimming
  6. Doing Yoga*
  7. Rollerskating/ Rollerblading
  8. Playing Tennis
  9. Playing Basketball
  10. Riding Bikes
  11. Doing Zumba* or Just Plain Dancing
  12. Cleaning
  13. Yard Work/ Gardening
  14. Skip-It (show the kids how it's done)

    I couldn't hula hoop back in the 50's! I can't hula hoop now! But it is a great way to exercise (so I've seen).

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work.
