The 'Give Me Five' Monday meme is designed to share fun information with each other in a simple short list! Here's how it works. Each week, I will put out a random topic from my list of topics and you share 5 answers of your choice on the given topic and link back here! You can add photos, links or stories or just a simple list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topic as it pertains to you and your life experiences. It doesn't have to be in any order of importance unless otherwise specified.
Give Me Five ways to fit exercise into your life.
1) Park at the opposite end of parking lots from the destination.
2) Usually, I walk the entire perimiter of the store before I get what I need... in some of the large stores it can add a lot of steps.
3) Make errands for yourself at work. I am constantly walking laps around school to drop papers off at the office or to photocopy.
4) Set aside sacred time for exercise. A date with yourself.
5) Speaking of dates with yourself: pick a start date to begin exercise and keep it. Once you get in the habit of exercise it's easier to stay with it. I call it my Red Letter Day and my most recent one was to bump up the intensity level of the workout tape I was following.

Very cool! I wonder how many people out there simply don't care... or maybe deep down they do care but for so many, any form of exercise is just too difficult.
A lot of the diseases we face as Americans can be helped along or even cause as a result of over-eating and NO exercise. I don't know why more people don't want to try to avoid cancer/disease by taking an active role in their physical well-being!
Good to see you're someone who cares :)
These are very good suggestions, Kwizgiver! :)
Great list! I really need to start exercising more. :o(
I need to heed #4. I really just don't even think about making time for myself or exercise...and I'm single! So I need to get on it. I really like #2 also, I never thought about taking a trek around the store before picking up things we need. It's almost as if we are 'programmed' to make things as easy or "work-free" as possible! Yoda would say, "Lazy, we are."
Great list!!
Sounds like you're doing great. :)
#4 and #5 are GREAT! We all need to be better to ourselves!
