Back-to-school is right around the corner. Not only will kids everywhere be getting back into their daily school routine, parents will find themselves adjusting their routines as well. Extra-curricular activities, homework, and the daily grind of getting every to and from school each day can put a pretty severe limit on a family's free time.
Being too busy is one of the most common reasons people give for not exercising. Don't let your summer exercise routine falter this fall. Instead, plan to make exercise a priority. Find an empty place on your calendar several days a week and write in your workout... in pen. Keep in mind that exercise doesn't have to happen in a gym or in a committed 45 minute chunk. Walking at lunch, bike riding with the kids after school, or any other activity that raises your heart rate and gets you moving will count.
