Easy Fitness Tips

Obviously we all want to be fit and healthy (if you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this blog!) but sometimes that seems easier said than done. As you know if you've been reading this blog for a while, we are all about making exercise easy and fun (or at least fun). While there are a lot of good exercise programs, workout routines, classes, books, and videos that can be enjoyable and improve our overall fitness level, often finding fun ways to stay fit means getting creative - seeing everyday challenges as opportunities to get a little extra exercise and reap the healthy benefits.

Speaking of which, I am about to go turn some compost into my garden and get the beds ready for planting potatoes. Is this work? Sure. Is it exercise? You better believe it. Is it fun? For me - heck yeah! (If it sounds fun to you, too, feel free to check out our Sustainable Gardening blog: http://nhlsustainablegardening.blogspot.com/.)

Before I go, here are some easy fitness tips to get you thinking, but by all means, use these ideas as a springboard, and come up with some of your own! (And if you do, we'd love to hear about them - post a comment below.)
