Starting over

ANSWERED
My kids (hubs lol) got me a replacement Fitbit for Mother's Day (YAY!!!!). I've been lazy since I lost my last one in August and I need some help getting back into the swing of things. I've moved to a rural area where it's pitch black at night (when I USED TO go for my power walks) and I don't feel comfortable going out now. My youngest hates the stroller and I can't get a good momentum with her in tow. So my question... What can I do at home to get moving???

I walk around my house ... have made a track (kind of), the dogs follow me.  aerobic videos, treadmill, yoga and lift free weights - just the 5 lb dumbells.  The best is a rowing machine but I have yet to find a used one that fits my budget.  Just keep moving!  Good luck

I go up and down the stairs in my house until I hit 100 flights (about 45 minutes).  It's a great burn, especially if you jog on/off.  Throw in some jumping jacks or burpees in between flights and you'll break a good sweat for sure!

I live on a rural horse farm and do a lot of trail running after dark especially in the winter.  I wear a very bright rechargable headlight (the TIKKA R+ unit) which allows me to run nearly as fast in complete darkness as I can in the daytime.

 

If you want to safely get out after dark, I cannot recommend one of these headlights strongly enough.

Do you ever worry about bear or coyote?

We have bear, coyote, and fishers here in New Hampshire, however, according to the folks around here, it is the moose I should be most wary of.

 

On my runs I've only encountered fishers on two occasions and neither threatened me.
