Everybody's busy these days. When things start getting hectic in our lives, exercise seems to be the last thing most of us make time for. Maybe it's time to stop thinking of physical activity as a "when I have time" option and consider it a necessity for life. Exercise is vital to good health, whether or not you need to lose weight. Weight loss is an added bonus! If you stand back and change a few small things in your life, you can easily make time for exercise.
First, look for ways to add more movement to your day:
Gardening
Bowling
Family outings
Salsa dancing
Walk
Bicycle
Park away from the office and walk the rest of the way
Walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator
Next, find the time:
Skip one TV show a night. One show which could give you 30 minutes to an hour of exercise time.
Make the most out of commercials. When you do watch TV, do sit-ups, push-ups, jumping jacks during commercials.
Take your dog for a walk. Seriously, take your pup out and walk him around the neighborhood for 30 minutes.
Keep track of your time. Track your time for a few days and you may be able to see areas where you can squeeze in a workout.
After dinner, make an after dinner walk with the family something you do all the time.
Added up, these small changes can total a significant amount of energy used over days, weeks and beyond.
