If physical activity was increased by just 25%, 1.3 million deaths could be prevented.

This is a bold statement, yet so true!

When you don't exercise, there is a greater chance of developing hypertension, type 2 Diabetes, breast cancer + colon cancer.

While this may sound like good information, who thinks of this as a motivation when it's snowing outside and all you want to do is stay warm in bed?

Well... me of course!

Anyone else do this too?

You know that you need to get moving, but the circumstances around just don't push you hard enough to actually get your feet out the door to MOVE?

This past Friday was exactly that.

There was a new snowfall in our driveway and my whole family knew we needed to shovel it, but that wasn't convincing enough for me to WANT to get out in the cold and do the job.

It was for sure a mental struggle, but I told myself that I would feel warm once I got moving.

Sure enough, by the time my family and I had finished the job that we made so much fun from (I mean, who can't have fun in the snow without a little bit of snowballs + sledding?) I was so hot and my heart + body was so thankful for the movement in the fresh air!​

Here's some tips to get moving so that it's less of a chore & more of a joy:

1. Schedule It.
   • You are more likely to actually exercise when it's written down with no excuse that you forgot (psst.. naturally living an active lifestyle throws this tip out the window because you're already doing it).
2. Multi-task while Exercising.
   • The excuse of no time doesn't fly. Think of things that you can do while exercising so that your time is maximized. This could be talking to a loved one or listening to an audiobook or podcast.
3. Exercise in Groups.
   • Having other people around + involved makes it just a little more fun. Check out this incredible fitness program that is flexible for busy, on-the-go people!
4. Do a Type of Exercise You Enjoy.
   • It's not rocket science.. if you want to look forward to exercising, you have to at least enjoy the type of exercise that you're doing so that you will want to do it again and again.

And guess what, if increasing your exercise by 25% seems like moving a mountain for you, then focus on changing only 1%.

And be sure to bring me along on your journey so that I can cheer you on every 1% that you succeed!

Till next time 💛
