Looking for ways to fit in exercise? If work is close enough, walk or bike instead of driving. If it’s farther away and you take the bus or train, get off a few stops early and walk to rest of the way.
Find it hard to fit in exercise, but enjoy gabbing with your friends? Try walking and talking. Either ask your friend to go for a walk with you or simply pace around the house while you talk on the cordless phone.
Want a workout that’s just as effective but can be done in less time? Combine multiple exercises into one. For example, do a reverse lunge with a bicep curl, or a squat with an overhead shoulder press.
If you’re not a big fan of the gym, or find that you spend more time driving there and back then you do on your workout, try investing in a couple of workout DVDs. Even just 15 minutes a day will make a difference if you stick with it.
A simple way to add a little bit of exercise to your day is to make small changes like taking the stairs or parking at the far end of the parking lot.
Can’t find time to exercise, but some how manage to fit in some T.V. time at the end of the day? Try doing some simple exercises like lunges, crunches, push-ups or wall-sits while you’re watching. Or, if that’s you’re time to relax, go through a simple stretch routine to calm your muscles.
