if you do workout "sparks" through the day...

Although I do several short workouts throughout the day, I sit a lot. For hours. I know I need to do better, so after an hour has passed, I'm going to make myself get up. I'll just do whatever I feel like...even if it's only walking around for a couple of minutes. There's no need for me to be such a huge "computer potato" all day.

I have the advantage of being self-employed and working from home, most days. I try to remember to take breaks and either go for a short walk, do balance exercises, or do pushups or chinups (both of which are which hard for me). I feel much better after a day of working, for the breaks, plus that I did something for myself.

I'm a SAHM so I'm all about 'sparks.' I get dressed in my workout wear first thing in the morning and try to do some semblance of a 'complete' workout. I never have time to shower/change afterwards, so I just stay in my workout clothes and try to do some 'extras' throughout the day. I run around with the kids, go for walks, do some pushups, whatever.

Then I do a little yoga at the end of the day and shower after the kids have gone to bed. I really try to incorporate the kids as much as I can. I have two boys, so they need a lot of energy-release moves and it's a fun thing for us to do together.

I try to get on the rebounder and just do leslie type stuff for 5 minutes (or more) at a time throughout the day. Sometimes it;s just one minute, or 100 steps, or ??? just movement like that adds up.

It may not be a big spark, but doing that has made a big change in my energy level, and my clothes all got lose over the holidays with all the extra eating!
