Today I didn't go out but been tidying and pottering and it still works off a sweat and prepping for dinner.
I may do weights too but knowing I have been active in some way still gives me endorphins I get from doing weights or walking on the treadmill. I am off out tomorrow but I do like a day indoors and catching up on home projects.
Cleaning can really help you feel productive as I hate procrastinating and doing something.
I like taking a cleaning and tidying break in between writing a blog or a book I am working on. It is good to just go around the home and clearing for the next stage of the day. Errands are a great resource and yesterday spent time decluttering as I was looking for something.

Dinner prep whilst listening to music where I don't sit down I always stand when cooking and cleaning the kitchen and also will exercise whilst the kettle is boiling and cooking. I will exercise legs and in bed whilst watching something, when waiting for my son to come home from school as he goes in a taxi will raise my heels, having a good dance, it is good to clean and tidy as you'll be surprised how much you burn off.
I am doing a health reset and so moving as much as I can. I like to take my time in cleaning and vacuuming. Watch this recent vlog where I give an update of my health reset: https://youtu.be/BjCdG457ta
I Today I had to sort my sons clothes because the pile was getting bigger and bigger so feel good I sorted it out and great to get the family involved. My son job is cleaning under the dining table as he likes to use it to watch his tablet, play a board game and where he likes to eat so he has to clean his mess and I will clean windowsills and I will go around clean the bathroom mirror and just having a good cleaning routine is a must for me.
There is painting and decorating and if you have stairs then climbing them through out the day can have real benefits to the legs and so you don't have to go for a 5K run, just clean the house.
Many thanks for reading,
