Exercise is the key…

Exercising….

god, only the word itself used to make me sigh and feel tired or a placebo feeling of actually not feeling quite well.

Two years ago I hated exercising, especially running. In school I was very creative at finding all types of excuses when I knew we were running on the P.E classes.

I was studying drama as my main subject, and I must have been quite a good actress since I convinced the school nurse that there was something wrong with my feet that made it impossible for me to run long distance.

I went to doctors several times a year, but nobody could find what was wrong with my feet… which is understandable, since it wasn’t the feet that was the problem, but my mind.

Somewhere along the way I linked up running with pain. And later on, every type of exercise with pain.

I have never been overweight, and I actually used to think I was in good shape, until one day when I realized how terribly wrong I was.

Within a year and a half I have gone from moving as rarely as possible, to being close to a health freak, all because of small changes in my everyday life.

You don’t have to go to a gym to get fit, you don’t need a personal trainer, you can find exrcise in all types of everyday chores.

All you need to do is take action and make small changes, step by step. I guarrantee you will get more out of this than just a hot body, the fitness is only a plus on the side.

You will feel happier, more confident and more energized.

Did you know that by…

… making your bed for an hour you burn 104 kcal.
… cleaning the floor you burn 234 kcal/h
… working in the garden you burn 336 kcal/h
… walking down the stairs you burn 426 kcal/h
… walking up the stairs you burn 600-1080 kcal/h
… ironing clothes you burn 252 kcal/h

Now I’m well aware that most people don’t walk up the stairs for an hour every day, but it gives you a good insight to see that you actually burn quite a lot by changing small things such as walk up the stair instead of taking the ilft.

The first thing I changed was that I started to take the bike to work instead of the tram.

That changed a large part of my life.

I felt proud over myself for biking, it made me wake up in the morning, I got some fresh air everyday and I saw myself getting fitter by every week.

The key to a slim, toned hot body is exercise! Try all the diet pills you like but you’ll never see the same results.

Good luck!
