Exercising around the house: Laundry Room

I don't know about you, but I have no desire to go to a gym. I am busy enough during the day, and don't need more time away from my kids. However, I do need to exercise! So, what's a mom to do? I am finding ways to exercise all over the house. Each week I'll try to spotlight a room and the exercises that can be done there.

Room of the week: Laundry Room

I bet you didn't know that the laundry room is a great place to do squats! How do you empty the clothes out of your drier? I spread my legs apart and squat down to get those clothes out! I try to do it quickly and just pile them all on top of my drier in order to keep those muscles working. About 20 squats and I'm feeling it! Remember to keep your knees lined up with your ankles, and not your toes, and start shaping up those legs!
