Summer days can be draining on our bodies and our spirits even in mild climates. When you find yourself feeling low and slow, we recommend getting up off the couch and undertaking an activity that will raise your heart rate and give you a new burst of energy. Our favorite example: an in-place, 15-20 minute jog. No accessories are necessary, no planning ahead is required, and weather is irrelevant. You can jog in place anytime, anywhere, under any circumstance. If a straightforward in place jog seems like a bore, focus on varying your pace every 3-5 minutes. Try to maintain your fastest jogging pace for longer stretches of time. Test yourself and track your progress - you'll soon forget how sluggish you were feeling, and you'll be ready to take on the day's next task.
