There is no place like home

I have a walking group and we usually head out once a week but you all know how easy it is to cancel if it is raining/too hot. My girlfriend and I made a pact to go rain hail or shine lol The hail may be a little far fetched but you know what I mean. Anytime we have been when its belting down with rain it seems to stop long enough for our walk! Lucky eh?

But tonight my group couldn't make it (raining and life to attend to) and so instead of hitting the gym which I do if Im on my own I decided to just run up and down the street. I never work as hard in the gym as I do outdoors & I don't know why?

With every step I loved my idea more and more! The gentle raindrops twinkled down, the road made squishy noises when my sneakers pounded down, the grass was glistening and smelt divine and the frogs! ohhhh the frogs were croaking their nightly song probably singing sweetly and happily about the cool rain. It's so much more organic and real when you outside and even better when your right outside your own front door!

I'm wondering if a jogging group can be introduced for late night neighbourly mummy runs/walks? I know I am a genius! hehe

My post title came about not only because of my little night time neighbourhood run tonight but also because everyday I do my star jumps right in my very own lounge room.  I add 1.5kg weights and after I have done those I do leg raises and crunches. Sometimes I use my swiss ball to do good old fashioned sit-ups. I also recently got myself a $3 skipping rope which I will begin to use outside when my hubby is at his training sessions that way I can do a bit of activity everyday :) before tonight I always thought his training nights are a night off for me but I was wrong. Home is where activity is FREE!

So you see you can do exercise for free and with out leaving the house if your homebound with children, no car etc!
