1. Do some exercise everyday.
By exercise, I don’t mean join a gym. Gross. All those sweaty meatbags throwing themselves around the room.
Exercise can be any form of movement, (my definition) for 30 minutes a day:
Walking around the supermarket
Walking around the shopping centre
Hanging out heavy baskets of washing
Cleaning the bath and scrubbing it, raising my heartbeat
Vacuuming and moving around the house
Moving furniture to clean behind and vacuum under
Standing at sink washing dishes
Filling or emptying dishwasher
Gardening, pulling weeds from a garden bed or vege patch
mowing lawn, trimming the edges, especially if you use a manual hedge trimmer (I don’t do these)
trimming tree branches, flowers, leaves
Carrying a full watering can down the ramp and around the backyard. I need to fill it and refill it as well so that takes at least 30 minutes or more and makes me puffed.
Trimming the wormwood hedge, which really needs it, but too hot outside for that.
Repotting, moving pots, replanting plants, picking fruit and vegetables.
I also want to walk outside, but I need to wake up very early to avoid the heat, and can’t walk far because of the smoke. I walk more during the other seasons, so I can’t wait for summer to be over.
What ever moves my body and makes me sweat, makes me puffy and makes my heart beat faster I’m considering exercise.
