Getting Fit On The Go

I have really enjoyed getting fit on the go. At the bus stop the other day I just raised my heals and back  down again, whilst seated waiting for the bus and when tidying and going up and down the stairs. Playing football with my son and rugby. On New Years Eve I did some weights to exercise the upper body, as I do lot of leg exercises.

The Park we love to walk

Tip# Have your weights near you rather putting them away as yesterday I was able to grab them and whilst watching a favourite TV, did some weights. 

Carrying shopping, making sure the bags are even and the same when carrying a Rucksack. Don't carry too much as it can cause injury and strain your muscles. When sitting down raise your upper body seating straight up not slouching and do pelvic exercise. Dance whilst cooking, aswell as exercising your vocal cords. 

I like to potter around the home and did that today and cleaned and tidied the kitchen, then the living room and starting to put the Christmas decor and tomorrow whilst my son and husband get their haircut I will go for a walk and continuing this blog, walked from the Cinema to home via the park and I feel so good for doing that. I love walking. For me it is the best thing after the busyness of Christmas and so felt good to walk the back way from the Cinema and just gives me so much joy.

It is okay to take a break over Christmas it is personal choice but if I can just do 5 minutes of exercise then I will use that time to fit in a quick workout. It is good to just work exercise around your lifestyle and love being with nature and just feel so uplifted. 

Tip# Create a playlist for your workouts. I love creating playlists and playing different types of music and get bopping. I love to put one on whilst cooking dancing around the kitchen. Often my son will join in so use technology to work for you to workout the body.

It is good to not look at the time if your on a treadmill so gonna get back into using the treadmill and perhaps by doing it once a week aswell as walking outside. 

So Get if on the go and still benefits and for me it has reduced the pressure on my self in continue to exercise for my health and wellbeing.

When The Sunshine Makes a Difference

Have you had a good week? It is good that we have had sunshine, it can make you feel so good. I popped out and will be good when we don't have to wear a coat. Going to pick up my son from school on Thursday gone, I was boiling as in the shade in the morning I was cold. 

On the Train Travelling back from Guildford after seeing my niece in a show

Sometimes I think it is just luck that we have no rainy days and have sunshine and so it is get out and make the most of it. 

It is good to have the evenings lighter for longer. It helps with energy and that you have more time.

I did parkrun and then saw my niece in a show and ate out. We had pizza and it was nice but very filling and they didn't put out wine glasses which was strange. Its a bit like McDonalds putting chips in your hands rather then in a box, to put them in. 

I find as it gets warmer my habits change. When is the summer I love a pasta salad with some chicken, ham or a Pork Pie Salad. 

I am looking forward to wearing shorts or a dress without tights. It is good to not a drink tea a lot and have a cold coffee or a juice drink instead and I love a pub lunch. 

Playing out in the garden or working in the garden to read in the park and going for long walks gives me so much joy. I am lucky to have many parks I can go to and coffee shops. I like to check out the charity shops and yesterday, Sunday my husband took our son to get his haircut.

It is good to have a bit of a change and do different things going by the seasons and the joys that come with them. 

Spring is fresh food season, Autumn is comfort food like soups, sausage and mash and Winter, Stews and casseroles and summer, a lovely BBQ and eating out and visiting and going to many different places. 

I hope to travel by UberBoat again and visit North Greenwich. You can ride on these from Putney to North Greenwich and use your Oyster card. 

With done this two years on the trot and enjoyed it so much. My mum and Tot took my son on the Emirates Cable cars, there is a virtue rollercoaster ride, bars, shops and restaurants. 

It was so funny last year coming back by UberBoat to Putney, there were football supporters who thought there was a bar on the boat. Some of the UberBoat's do but this one didn't and was taking the mickey out of one of them and then we had a meal in Putney coming back and it was so much fun.

I will try to post through the week on my daily blog: My Daily Thoughts and feelings. On Tuesdays now, I like to go out and my son is at his holiday club, i will taking a trip. Not so sure where but just explore.
