Move and you shall be rewarded

I used to think that I can only exercise in the confines of a gym. Of course I was wrong. Since the renovation of the gym in our building, I have been forced to find other means and ways of exercising. I have surprised myself by being creative. If there's really a will, there's a way. I now exercise twice a day for about 30-45 minutes each session. I am usually awake by 6:30-7:00AM. During this time, my boys are still in dreamland and I have taken advantage of this. I used to go down to the gym to hit the treadmill. But now, I do a medium impact aerobics instead at the confines of our apartment. No need to put on a fancy gym attire. What I do for my medium impact aerobics is combine dancing, steady marching, jumping rope and all other movements I can think of. It may sound funny but it's working well for me. Before bedtime too while my boys are playing, I take the time to do another set of my exercise. Sometimes my boys even join me in marching. It has become a fun activity too! I have lost several pounds (will reveal the lost pounds soon) already. But of course I watch my diet too. Losing weight is always hard at the start. But if you've found the rhythm it becomes easier. What I've learned is that the more you move (walking, dancing, etc) the more calories you burn. So get that butt moving! :)
