Prepping for Walk Kansas!

Posted on by Karen Blakeslee

vacuumSpring will come, at least according to the calendar! And with that, it’s time for Walk Kansas. Here are some creative ways to get active now.

  • Speed clean your house. Do leg lunges while vacuuming.
  • Walk laps inside your house when its icy outside. Don’t ignore those stairs to get more steps in and get your heart pumping.
  • Grab a couple cans of beans to do arm curls. Add weight by using a couple jugs of water.
  • During online meetings or phone calls, stand up or walk around to keep moving.

Get creative and get ready for Walk Kansas!
