Day 5 - "Shake" Day

As we move closer to "Cleanse" day our routine becomes easier.  Our bodies have adjusted to the shakes and we are learning how to be flexible with our shakes.  If we know we are going to be having a meal at lunch time, we will switch our shake to dinner time - all the while not interrupting the flow of our life.  The Isagenix program is designed to help you, not tie you down to strict rules and planning!
The next step for both of us is to get our minimum of 20 minutes of exercise in daily.  Isagenix is not a miracle cure - exercise still needs to be incorporated into your life!  Not only do you get your body moving, but you also sweat - more release of toxins.  That's right - need to sweat!!  There are days - let's be honest now - where exercising to sweat is just not convienent.  You may be having a particularly good "hair" day with an appointment later in the afternoon plus taking the kids to their extra-curricular activities.  When do you fit in that 20 minutes!?
Jeff and I have found a way and it is the hardest 20 minutes of exercise you will do.  Jeff promptly went to the store and bought us a skipping rope.  The cheapest, easiest and most convienent form of exercise you can ask for.  Easy to store, can be done anywhere and gives you no excuse to fit those 20 minutes in!  Jeff thought 20 minutes of jumping rope would be a breeze (I knew better from the boot camps I have done!) - suddenly these 20 minutes became the longest 20 minutes of his life!  Our daughters could jump for longer all the while chatting away at us.  We were struggling to keep breathing let alone carry on a conversation with these two 10 year old jumping beans!!  Kids make things look so easy!  So, as we fit in the exercise too - we are hoping our bodies will adjust to 20 minutes of skipping just like our bodies adjusted to the new diet!
