I think I am answering today’s daily writing prompt using a functional approach. Here goes:
First, doing own cooking, especially when it is of the cuisine of the first nations of Uganda.
My people, Iteso, the fourth largest first nation of Uganda, will attest to this. How is mingling atap (millet ugali) not a all exercise set?
Second, gardening in the city and or urban setting. I am talking front and backyard gardening – repurposed containers, and all.
Pick up a handheld hoe, bend over and do it. I guarantee you will feel the after effects in multiple muscles, throughout you body.
Third, housecleaning. Even the simple act of sweeping the floor is exercise on its own right.
Add mopping the floor with a cloth mopper and not the ones with handles and you will break out a sweat.
Fourth, washing clothes, old school that is, not in the washing machine. Yes, maximum respect.
Fifth, body stretches, I have a routine that I do, which includes push ups while standing and pushing off the wall and other stretches.
