Fitting In Fitness

With today’s demanding schedules of seemingly never-ending workdays, taking care of kids, home, and spending time with friends and family; health and fitness may end up getting pushed to the back burner.

When you feel like there’s not enough time in the day or you just don’t know where or how to begin, we’ve put together a few tips on ways you can sneak exercise into your busy life without having to sacrifice anything on your to-do list.

Fitting in Fitness Tips

1) If you take public transportation, get off a stop or two early and walk. Or, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And if you work in a high rise get off the elevator a few stories early and take the stairs the rest of the way. When going shopping, park at the far end of the parking lot.

2) Join a health club near your work so that you can more conveniently get a work out in during your lunch or before/after work.

3) Use you speaker phone at work and walk around the room while speaking. Even just standing will burn more calories than sitting.

4) Make sure you either stand, walk around or stretch at least once every hour, for even just a minute. It’s important to keep your blood circulating.

5) When traveling, walk around the airport while waiting for your flight instead of just sitting at the terminal.

Just doing a little bit of exercise everyday counts. While you should aim to get in at least 30 minutes a day, sometimes you just can’t and these simple tips will help keep you on track.
