Dashing, darting, diving...



Monday morning is such a nice time to think about exercise.  It is also a pretty good time to get some!  I like to begin my Mondays with cardio.

Cardio exercise prepares the brain for the day ahead.  It wakes us up, clears out the clouds, and helps us concentrate later in the day.  When we push through some intervals as well, we get bonus points for our metabolisms.  Intervals also train our hearts and lungs to recover more quickly and help us burn more calories in less time.


Let’s find our music and pick an activity:  walking, running, skipping, jumping, skating, ellipting (okay, that’s probably not a word…), skiing, biking, unicycling, hiking, zumba-ing, dancing, competitive hopscotch, chasing dogs/boys/girls, or anything else that gets our hearts pumping and our lungs panting.
