In response to lots of questions about my typical day, I am posting the general outline. This plan has worked for ME since the end of 2018, when I decided to make some major changes in my health, happiness and overall fitness. Of course, there’s a lot more detail under each of these headings. This gives the general look of my day, including: food, fitness, health, and a generic layout of how I schedule to fit it all in. My day starts, typically at 5:00 AM and ends around midnight. I start off with a detox drink in the morning and have found my best fitness and muscle building results come with doing multi-tasking, working cardio first thing, followed by a 1 minute plank. If I do this, I feel great, even if my day turns where I am able to do nothing else physical. Next up, fruit and coffee, while packing meal-prepped family lunches. After school drop-off & quick errands, I enjoy a working breakfast. Below, my usual routine is summed up in images. A few notes: I do include movement and some quick bursts of muscle building all day. Squats can be completed anywhere, with no equipment; next to a desk, in a kitchen, even on break, in the employee area or restroom of a work establishment. Doing 20 - 30 squats at a time, throughout the day can drastically improve your fitness and physique - as they work core, balance, and legs all at once. At first I felt silly if anyone caught me doing these. Now, it’s a standing joke “have to get me squats in”…I even have others doing it too! I encourage you, if you are just starting out, and don’t know where to start, just do a 1 minute plank (on the ground, a counter, or against a wall every day. Add 20 squats each day and see what happens after sticking with it for 2 weeks. 2 weeks!!! That’s what it takes to begin a new habit, shift mindset, and see some change. Please let me know if you try this. I would love to hear some feedback! Now… for my day….keep in mind what I am sharing below is what works for me. You must find what works for you. I am not a health expert, I do encourage you to speak with your own healthcare provider about any diet, health or fitness activities you are considering. I hope you find a tip or 2 below helpful!              photos © copyright SheDo50Too

 If you are at all like I was and struggle with wanting to workout, get in shape, and lose weight, then you already know it’s not alway easy to find the time for working out, especially for busy moms. No time, for me, was always an easy excuse to just “skip it for the day”. Once I decided to get fit, I researched quick easy workouts to help stay on track. A lot of my early fitness was simply using quick all-over methods to get a little strength and cardio all at once, every day. These quick workouts helped me to form a very solid daily habit. I have some quick videos of exactly what I do on my social media. Using quick all-over methods helped me get into the habit of working out without feeling discouraged or burning myself out, especially in the beginning. Now that I exercise almost every day, I still go back to these quick routines when I’m short on time, or when I just want to mix it up. Also, now that I have a good weekly system in place, if I make it to the end of the day and I missed my normal workout, I rely on these short, high intensity moves to keep myself on track. Here is a link to a very quick workout that can be high intensity and completed in just a few minutes. This all-over movement of using small weights for the arms and doing squats for the legs also impacts the core and back. If done quickly in bursts it incorporates an elevated heart rate so a little cardio is added to the mix. Hence….All Over Workout!!! Do this movement for 2 minutes and take a break for 15 seconds and do 2 more sets for another 2 minutes each. This is a great workout in under 10 minutes. Stop there if that’s all you have time for or keep repeating to achieve maximum results. I usually do this series for 20 - 30 minutes total. This is great for the days I can’t fit in the full workout. (As a side not I typically do, at least 5 days per week of about 20 minutes of cardio a day and 20 - 30 minutes of weight lifting per day.). I think you will find this is a good routine to get started working out and it’s also great for time restricted days. This movement can be done with no equipment or light weights. In the video I am using 5 pound dumbbells. This size and weight is very manageable for movement. You can find a link to lightweight dumbbells here.  Everyone does have different fitness needs, so my recommendation is to speak to your own healthcare provider prior to starting any workout or health plan. Everyone experiences different, personal, results as well. I am not a healthcare or fitness expert, I am simply sharing things that have worked for me. The things I share, I wish I had known sooner. I hope this routine helps you as well. I’m Sheryl of SheDo50Too, a lifestyle blog about being over 50 and staying fit, healthy and fashionable.
