Exercise and I aren’t on the best of terms. It doesn’t like me, I don’t like it, and we have an understanding. Still, I need to exercise for my health, so I’ve been trying to adjust my attitude and figure out what I can do and enjoy, at least a little.
My first discovery happened while we were away on our little holiday. My husband had popped out to the hardware store down the road, and I was back at the trailer, getting ready to wash the breakfast dishes.
The first key to this little exercise success is the outfit you wear. It needs to be comfortable, and you get extra points if it’s a bit quirky. My favorite outfit for this particular exercise is the housecoat my friend recently gave me. I took a picture of it for your pleasure…
{We laughed ourselves silly over it in the store. It’s so vintage “Grandma-y,” and for a teetotaler like me, the martini glasses just add to the humor…}
Once you’re decked out in your special “dancing in the kitchen while washing dishes” gear, grab your iPad and open the Songza app. (I think you can use it on your computer, too, but I’m not sure about that…)
In the left-hand corner there’s an icon shaped like a magnifying glass. Tap it to search for whatever you like. I typed in “Christian” and then chose “Today’s Christian Hits”.
That morning, the first song that came on had me dancing away as I scrubbed the dishes. Now I pull up Songza and dance in the kitchen regularly. It does wonders for my health and my heart.
Want to know the first song I danced to? Here it is:
