Move It!

I work out with Adam every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  On the days I work out with him, my exercise happens on auto pilot.  I don't have to think about what to do... I just do what I'm told, and the calories get burned.

But... what happens on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday?  I have to figure out for myself what to do for my cardio.  We all know the usual:

             Jogging                                     Treadmill                                                    Elliptical Machine

             Jump Rope                                                          Swimming

ETC.

However, the best workouts seem to happen when I just build activities into my day and have fun!

This weekend, I went to play in the snow with my friends, Adam and Cameron (AKA Flash).  We built a snowman, had several snowball fights, and then went sledding.  Riding the boogie board down the hill was a cinch, but the climb back up (especially if done at a run) was a good little workout.  The walk to and from our sledding spot was a nice little trek, too.

So, when you're tired of the usual cardio, what do you do to get your exercise in?  How do you get YOUR heartrate up?  Whatever it is, make sure it's fun and you will burn calories before you know it!
