This is a green blog, so what does exercising have to do with green living? Hear me out – when we think about detoxifying our life we look at the products that we use, the foods that we eat, the impacts we create… But being green is not just about recycling and turning off the lights. It’s a lifestyle in which you are involved and present – making conscious decisions about the kind of life that you want to create.
If you feel tired in the mornings, have a lack of motivation and difficulty concentrating – you may need to include more exercise in your life. Quite simply, this world needs you at your best, once you start exercising you will see a big difference on your mood, your energy and just the way you see things. At first you may feel pain and soreness, but that’s just part of the process.
There was an interesting study from Penn State University which found that people who were more physically active reported greater feelings of excitement and enthusiasm, compared with people less physically active. Not only that but it makes us more productive with increased energy and mental clarity. There are a lot of studies which show the benefits of exercise, but when it comes down to it for me – I know that when I feel good, I do good!
But, it’s not always easy – we’re busy and going to the gym can cost a bomb! Well, I’ve got you covered. Here is a list of five free online workout channels that you can play and practice anytime you like, in the convenience of your own home! No sign-up fees, no traveling, no excuses!

I love the do yoga with me series. It feels like you’re in class with them and they catalogue the level of difficulty in the title of each video, very helpful for a beginner like me! Thanks for all of the links, LGD.. I’ve got this one bookmarked! 🙂
