"4 in 1 " or "LADWBW"

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007
I have got the best workout done today. Well, maybe not the best , but pretty awesome. I think I call it the “4 in1 laundry aerobics” or “Laundry Aerobics Doggy Walking Butt Workout” (LADWBW)
I finally got motivated enough to do my cardio walk. So, outside I went with the dogs and started walking the stretch in front of the house. Back and forth, while the boys running around and walking with me. Ten minutes into it, I am kinda getting bored, how could I stay motivated? I see the laundry hanging there and decided to make it similar to the “sock” workout I did a few weeks back.
So, instead of getting a laundry basket, I take each piece of the clothesline, fold it while walking up the stairs into the house to put it in the basket there. But wait! Why not take the rest of the stairs up and take each item into the closet and put it away? So I did!
I had 44 pieces of laundry (2 loads), walked each item 24 stairs up into the house and put them away. This is a total of 1056 stairs. Now that’s what I call a butt workout. And I kept my HR between 120 -132, that’s good, right?!
All took me 75 minutes/7678 steps. So here we have it: A good cardio workout while folding and putting away laundry, walking the dogs (they kept going up and down the stairs with me and are sleeping now:) and getting a great bootie workout done all at the same time.
Now that’s time well spend:)
