每天三分钟，健康一辈子

OK, look, I’m the lazy monitor. Do you think I go to the gym or run five times a week? You have got to be kidding me. Who has time to go to the gym? And, hello?! I HATE running! But, I have found a way to get exercise every single day, and I feel great because of it. You can do it, too, because it only takes three minutes a day even you have only three minutes.

For 20 years my exercise routine was non-existent. I had a lot of good intentions, but little follow-through. I did a lot of sports in my youth and had good genes, but last year I started to think, “Girl, you are in your 40s. You’d better start looking after yourself!”

Knowing my lack of time and hatred of running, I gave myself a mini workout routine that I could do every day. Sit ups, push ups and a plank. Every morning. Three minutes. No excuses! Since January, I have been doing 30 sculling sit-ups, 30 push-up and a 30-second plank almost every morning. I expected to have more energy and feel stronger, which I definitely do, but I have gained so much more than that.

I think it is important that my few minutes of exercise are calisthenics, a form of strength training. So, there you have it. Three minutes of effort a day can be life-changing! Are you going to do the three-minute exercise challenge? If you do, let me know how you get on!
