Ways to Get Exercise

Life is filled with activities, tasks, projects and deadlines to the point where we have no time to exercise. However, lack of exercise is detrimintal to your mental and physical health. It is vital to exercise on a daily basis. How can I exercise when I have little time, you ask? It is possible. It may not be a full 30 minutes, but five minutes here or there is better than no minutes.

Here are some ways you can include exercise in your busy life without really making a lot of time:

• When you are shopping, park a little further away from the building. Don't park in the closest parking spot.
• Take the stairs instead of the esclator or elevator.
• When you are cleaning your house, listen to some upbeat music. Chances are you will be dancing while cleaning.
• When you spend some quality time with your children, play a sport together where both of you have to physically move.
• Planning on spending time with a friend? Plan your time together by walking as you both catch up on each other's lives.

Be creative when including exercise in your daily life. Remember five minuters here and there is better than no minutes at all. Once life slows down a bit, then you can add more minutes to exercising!
