My free workout

Want to know my current workout secret? It’s easy, just follow these 3 simple steps 

  • Step 1 – Get of f the couch
  • Step 2 – Walk  to your shed
  • Step 3 – Grab a shovel or a sledgehammer and start swinging!

A good day’s hard labour can melt the fat straight off you. 

I am writing this post, late in the evening and my body is aching (in a good way). Why? well you see, currently at our house we are experiencing some major renovations to more modernize our 70’s style house and apart from the minor stress of the planning process, I am quite enjoying the demolition side of things. Now it takes a lot for me to focus and gather the inner strength to either  hop on the cross trainer or maybe go for a run, however, tell me that by carting ang shoveling some rubble yourself is going to save you some cash, I’m there! 

You see, not only is there the benefit of saving a bit of money by doing it yourself, there’s is the added bonus of getting fit at the same time. Now I am not particularly handy with the tools, but what I have discovered in the last couple of weeks is that I am good at destroying stuff. I am loving demolishing and clearing. I guess this is really just another extension of decluttering. We always talk about decluttering your desk ,wardrobe, cd collection etc but never our front and backyard or our structural living spaces 

It is amazing when you start decluttering by taking out a wall here, or moving an unsightly shed to a different corner there, any small or big change can create a pleasant space that you never thought possible. 

So, get out there yourself and start your free workout now! 

Enjoy

ps. An added benefit to this if you’ve got kids is that children love tearing down and digging stuff too! I had a couple of little hands helping me today, but most importantly we were spending time together.
