Are you always feeling tired? Do you yearn to get that daily exercise regiment in but can’t?Ā Do you enjoy keeping that couch company? Well, know that you’re not alone! There are millions of Americans that feel just like you, heck I’m one of them at times myself!
Sometimes we say who has time, don’t feel like it today, maybe tomorrow or I’ll getĀ moving as soon as I watch this or that! Now there’s nothing wrong with sitting on the couch watching a good movie or TV show , what’s wrong is if you do not keep it moving your body muscle strength can deteriorate, your body will become weak, blood pressure can rise due to weight gain and of course your mental health will be affected just as much as your physical health!
Many people think you have to make a schedule that is intense to keep moving but you don’t need to. There are so many simple solutions that can keep you moving and your entire family!
Here are a few tips that will help keep you moving:
Tip one:Ā Be creative when preparing meals. Consider using these ingredients listed below. These types of ingredients are good for the body and will boost your energy levels.

I’m always for taking a good challenge. I’ve been challenging myself for the last few months until I ran into a heel spur. This is a good way for me to get back on the ball!
Love the tips and thank you for the sweepstakes link.
Exercise is good, but I have to be careful. I break very easily.
I needed these tips becaues I am post menapausal and I am feeling tired and run down all the time
such a fun summer I don’t want it to end !
This summer I got my family moving by having day trips that required some sort of exercise. Outdoor sculpture park, walking historic mansions, rafting, etc.
The pasta salad looks fantastic. I like walking on treadmill but should also walk outside.
I like the tip to keep moving daily, I try to keep up with my kids every day.
I like to Fitness walk a few times a week.
You are so right on all of these. I try to do them but sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day.
Exercise, whether in large amounts or small, is the best thing for good health.

It’s best to keep a routine in place!! I do power walks daily.

Taking time out for a daily walk is a must for me! I like the bike riding with my family too! And the fast pasta salad is such a great dish to make. My family will like it!
Awesome tips! I am definitely a member of the Comfy Couch Club recently and often need a swift kick in the butt to get up and get moving. Love your list of ingredients to use when cooking and I need to look into stepping out of my comfort zone more often.
Love these tips! Thanks for sharing!

I have found for our family that cutting out grains gives us a bigger boost in energy. It’s difficult and line I struggle to walk but when we do do it, it’s a totally different feeling.
Great tips thank you.
I always start my day with a 30 minute walk – it wakes me up and even if the rest of the day gets away from me or doesn’t go as planned, I always feel like I did “something” exercise wise! I’m also with you about dancing — I put on my favorite music and bust a move. <— Who says 'bust a move' anymore?!
LOL, ‘bust a move’ is still alive in my book Gigi…lol lol
These are all great tips. We try out best to walk around the neighborhood or bike daily.
I love the bike idea, seems so fun to do it with the whole family. Pasta salad sounds super interesting too.
I love watching TV and movies too, and I find it helpful to stand up during commercials and exercise (jumping jacks, squats, crunches) to stay active!
Love these tips! Cant wait to try that pasta salad recipe!!!
Great tips! Exercising is always good to your health.
