Couch Potato Or Fitness Freak?

I proudly announced the launch of my new online business, Baby Making Mindset, last week and I'm delighted with the progress I've made, but it's had it's downside.

I'm now officially a desk potato!

I wouldn't call myself a couch potato because I've been so busy that TV is a distant memory (I've still to see some of the programmes I saved over Xmas and New Year).  No, I'm a desk potato, stuck to my typist chair at my PC producing blogs and newsletters, facebook posts and twitter feeds and the odd article - not to mention content for my new Club.  And I get so absorbed with it all that I only remember to move when my legs start going numb - so much for self-awareness!

So I've decided I need to get some more exercise, but I'm not really fitness freak material: I'm a member of a gym - but it seems to take up so much time; I like to go out walking - but the weather isn't always great; I do still need to spend a lot of time at my PC - but I also know that I need to take more breaks.  Notice all the "buts" - those are objections, resistance, excuses and I seem to have a lot of them.  I need a new strategy:  I want to make it easy for myself to reduce the resistance, so I thought "a little and often", that will help me create some breaks from my PC which would also be a good thing.  

What how do I do that?  Well, I thought I'd ask Google what to do and I got a real surprise ... some excellent information from the NHS.  It provides exercise for all ages and distinct programmes for men and women and it's got lots of other great information that's easy to read and apply - I'm surprised and impressed.

Here's a link to a series of 10 Minute workouts.  I'm going to be incorporating them into my day to give me a break from my PC.  Have a look at the link and see if they might suit you too ...
