Adding Activity

Getting steps in the day is the hardest for me. Successful changes for me have involved:

1. Going to bed early so I can get up earlier. Simply setting the alarm clock earlier just didn't work.
2. Finding some engaging exercise to do for 30 minutes.

It's the latter that is the most challenging. I've done some activities such as walking, elliptical, calisthenics, and others but the problem is, doing the same thing every day is boring.

The Activity Die
So I thought a way to break the monotony would be to roll a die in the morning and do whatever activity came up. Number 6 would be a return to bed (Come on, sixes!). I'm having trouble filling in all the slots for the die. Any suggestions for early morning exercise?

If anyone is interested in the final die, I'd be happy to share it.

That is a great idea... I'd love to see the dice. I walk the dogs with the wife (almost) every morning so I consider that my AM activity.
