We all know how easy it is to get fairly sedentary these days. There’s that show we want to watch, or we’re chatting with friends on Facebook, or somebody emailed a funny cat video which leads to other funny cat videos or videos of people falling down on Youtube. Next thing you know, half the morning is gone. Well, in this RV Lifestyle it’s even more easy to succumb to the sedentary, especially when you’re traveling, so today i thought we could talk about a few ways to get around the lure of the chair.
Walking
Walking is BY FAR the easiest way to get some exercise! Just putting one foot in front of the other on the way to the store, or to the park, is great exercise. If you’re into challenges, get a step counter and strive to beat yesterday’s record. These days, there are gyms everywhere and believe it or not a lot of them have wifi So if you REALLY need to watch those cat videos, do it on the treadmill! By the time you’ve clicked your way through them all, you will have walked a few miles.. Now that fall is hopefully sticking around, hit the hiking trails near you, go see the leaves changing color, get out of the RV and just breathe!
Snacking
Everyone knows this is kind of a no-no, but in reality choosing the correct snacks is quite healthy. Instead of potato chips, or snacks loaded with processed sugars, try to graze on some fruit for energy, or even something fresh from the veggie drawer in your refrigerator. Make is easier on yourself by pre-slicing up some carrots, or bell peppers, or celery, it’s not hard!
You’ll hear two words together all the time: diet and exercise. Even though it’s almost a cliche these days, you can’t keep fit without BOTH of them!
