It’s really easy to green your fitness routine. Here are my top tips:

1. Develop a quick home workout. 10 -30 minute workouts are great because those of us, who are really time-challenged, don’t have an excuse! I love the Kettleworx workout for a quick killer routine.
2. Try some yoga – it can literally be a few simple poses that you can practice just once or twice a week. Yoga connects your breath with your body, helping you to feel balanced, grounded and aware – just what a green girl needs. There’s an illustrated workout in all 3 of my books.
3. Start doing some strenuous work at home/in your yard. Digging will get your heart rate right up there, as will washing your own car with my Rinseless Car Wash (recipe P.258 Do It Gorgeously).
4. Get hold of a bicycle no matter what. I’m in love with my Electra Townie and use it at least once a day for a short trip (to the bank or cleaner). I use a backpack and my bicycle basket when I go to the grocery store.
5. Duh! Seems obvious, but lacing on a pair of shoes and taking a 10-minute strenuous walk or hike can work wonders.

Whatever way you choose, don’t forget your reusable water bottle.
