That's Fit

We are famously more sedentary now than ever before in history, yet we feel more rushed and stressed than ever before. How does that make any sense? It doesn't. But unfortunately it does seem to be the truth, with more and more people helplessly watching their waistlines grow bigger as they find it impossible to fit in time for exercise.

The good news is that when it comes to fitness and physical activity, every little bit helps. You don't have to block out an hour of your day, or even a half an hour, to have life-changing results. Just a few minutes here and a few moves there, even during your day at work, and you can have a positive impact on your health.

Here are 8 moves specifically designed to mimic traditional gym exercises but modified to be done during normal everyday activities. My favorite? The "seated quad shaper." I tried it here at my desk and it really burns! (or maybe I'm just extra out-of-shape, ha!) The one that made me laugh is the "cardio shopping." It's good advice, I just think you'll have to try this one carefully -- "walking quickly up and down the aisles" for an extra calorie burn could be dangerous to innocent bystanders if the store is busy and/or you're not careful!
