If you like to work up a sweat, try these…
1. Go for a 30 minute power walk… chat with a friend or listen to a good playlist
2. Go for a swim… focus on feeling weightless and stretching
3. Strength Train with a focus on the core and Twisting moves… imagine wringing out your waist!
4. Go for a light jog… nothing crazy… maybe add little hills
5. AND… the most fun of all, and possible the most effective… a romp in the hay will do WONDERS!
Try what you think will work best for you or try them all! Most importantly, take the time for you!
