There’s More Than One Way To Gain A Little Fitness These Days
There’s a way to gain a little fitness through activities around the house, though most people are finding themselves having trouble even getting up off of the couch or peeling themselves away from a computer monitor for more than a few minutes a day. What may not be very well known, however, is that a few minutes of any sort of physical activity throughout the day can make a big difference.
Think about a wristwatch for a minute. It might be one of those black sport watch models that seem to adore the wrists of all those Green Berets or Navy SEALs one sees on the nightly news or it might be something a little less gaudy, whatever. Just use its stopwatch or countdown function to set a couple of minutes aside throughout the day for just a bit of time away from the TV or computer.
Just those few minutes — which many people have trouble accepting can do much of anything — can make a world of difference when it comes to fitness, because the fact is it doesn’t take all that much activity to get some. If you need motivation, consider that such activity will help you avoid having to go to a gym when it’s really gardening that’s more of a turn on rather than sweaty weightlifters.
And in this vein, it might be a good idea to go out to the garage and look around for those lawn garden tools that once were going to be used to plant a beautiful garden in the backyard. Grab them and get to work digging, in other words, even if you have to borrow a neighbor’s backyard — if they’re insane enough to let you do so — and just start by digging a few rows. Your neighbor will love you.
Still, if the thought of getting down and dirty — literally — just isn’t all that enticing, maybe playing a little air guitar is. It can actually be a good way to get a little bit of activity in, in fact. You might even have a dusty old Epiphone electric guitar lying around that didn’t make your son’s college furniture kit, even. At any rate, pick it up and begin wailing away on it, maybe.
Now, you may never become any sort of an even medium-incompetent rock star on it, but that won’t be the point, after all. What’ll be the point is that you’ll be flailing your arms, hitting the strings and building up no small amount of sweat, if you do things right. You may never become the new Pete Townsend but you’ll sure be sweating while trying to do so, which is far more vital and fun.
The most important thing to keep in mind about gaining a little fitness in the home is that just about any activity can be used to encourage it. If you don’t want to garden, don’t. If you don’t want to play guitar or act like some sort of air musician, don’t. Just pick something, anything, and try to do a few minutes a day, spread throughout the day, and watch the fitness grow.
