Not having a full-time job means I have less disposable income for things like the gym. But working out doesn't have to cost a fortune, right?
My problem is I don't like exercising in the family room for everyone to see, especially now that my daughter video chats every chance she can. I also hate creating a mess in a room I try to keep clean at all costs.
Go outside then, right? Well, I'm not big on outside exercise, except for walking, given my allergies and general air quality in Arizona.
My solution? Make space in my bedroom. The big problem there was clutter. I was using an exercise machine (remember the Cardio Glide?) as a clothes rack. Plus decorative boxes with papers cluttered up the room. I had no real space for exercise.
Well, thanks to illness and a desire to disinfect/spring clean, I now have space. Enough for two yoga mats. Yay!
I'm storing my exercise equipment in two boxes, so I don't see clutter. And I have DVDs handy to pop in the TV in the privacy of my room. Love it.
I can stretch while watching TV or pull out the weights. My family room stays clean in case I get drop ins. Win-win.
Let's hope this keeps me motivated for a long time.
Cheers!
P.S. The Cardio Glide is gone to the garage. I'm feeling like I'm not ready to part with it. But at least it won't attract clothes clutter.
