Top Five Ways to Green Your Fitness Routine

It’s really easy to green — or be more conscious about — your fitness routine. Here are my top tips to Green Your Fitness Routine:

1. Develop a quick home workout. 10 -30 minute workouts are great because those of us, who are really time-challenged, don’t have an excuse! I love the Kettleworx workout for a quick killer routine.

2. Try some yoga – it can literally be a few simple poses that you can practice just once or twice a week. Yoga connects your breath with your body, helping you to feel balanced, grounded and aware – just what a green girl needs.

3. Start doing some strenuous work at home or in your yard. Digging will get your heart rate right up there, as will washing your own car.

4. Get hold of a bicycle no matter what. I’m in love with my Electra Townie and use it at least once a day for a short trip (to the bank or cleaner). I use a backpack and my bicycle basket when I go to the grocery store.

5. Go for a walk: Duh! Seems obvious, but lacing on a pair of shoes and taking a 10-minute strenuous walk or hike can work wonders.

Whatever way you choose, don’t forget your reusable water bottle.
