It works to stretch and tone the entire body by doing 20 repetitions of 3 exercises for each main muscle group, you don't have to do 20 repetitions if that is to difficult for you, you can do as little as 3 and work your way up weekly. This routine has helped me to regain strength in my back and flatten my stomach after having children and now my daughters use this routine aswell so I hope you find this a helpful routine that is not too difficult. If you have any questions write a comment and I will answer those for you :) (don't forget to watch part 2!!)

Recently my friend and fellow blogger Scott Young did a great post entitled, “New to exercise? Make workouts daily“. It was an excellent post, and perfectly timed as it mirrors my own recent efforts at making exercise a daily habit.

The problem with trying to make exercise a habit, and it’s something that we’ve all faced, is that you usually try to exercise 3 or 4 times a week … and that makes creating a new exercise habit difficult. The reason is that the more consistent an action is, the more likely it is to be a habit.

Therefore, as Scott points out, and it’s something I fully agree with, exercising every day is more likely to result in a habit — something that becomes almost automatic, and much easier, instead of a constant struggle.

I’ve been implementing this idea in my daily life recently, alternating every day between different exercises: running, swimming, biking and strength workouts, as a way of reaching my goal of completing an Olympic-distance triathlon this year. I’m going to continue this habit change into the month of May. I made daily running a habit last year, when I was training for my first marathon, but this year I stopped when I got sick, so I’m re-starting the habit formation.
