8 Ways to Sneak Exercise Into Your Daily Life

1/11/2019

It’s been recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. That’s a little over 20 minutes a day.

Below are some tips to get in more activity each day to keep you moving:

Do lunges while you vacuum.
Leave work when it’s time for lunch every day. Go for a walk and take the stairs. You’ll feel refreshed and will have gotten more steps in for the day.
Do some dips on the kitchen counter or a chair while you wait for the oven/microwave.
Use a push-mower to cut your grass where you can. Do the yard work yourself instead of paying someone.
Walk the dog. See if you can add more distance or time onto each outing. It’ll be good for both of you.
Hand wash your cars instead of going through the automatic wash.
Make your bed every morning. You’ll get some stretching in and it’ll be nice to come back to at night.
Don’t sit on the sidelines at your kids’ games - stand up and move around and watch. You’ll get a better view and will burn more calories.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
