Bring Fitness Into Your Home Today

Try one of these ideas today in your home:

Watching TV? Turn commercial breaks into fitness breaks and do push-ups or crunches during them.

Challenge your kids to a plank contest.

  • Lie on the ground facedown with your hands next to your shoulders.
  • Press your body up so you’re on your hands and toes.
  • Hold the position, breathing normally, for as long as you can.

Take a few minutes to pull weeds, rake leaves, or sweep your sidewalk. (Bonus: You’ll boost your home’s curb appeal!)leaves2

Tackle that to-do list. Paint the bathroom, organize your closet, or clean out your garage.
