Chances are, you're good at making exercise excuses. Being too tired or busy and always having the kids are probably top reasons you aren't exercising, although there are plenty more where that came from. But if you're serious about slimming down, it's time to ditch the excuses and make fitness a priority.

How? Why not try:

  • Exercising with the kids. They need activity too -- head out for a family hike, play tag in the park or simply bounce around on the trampoline with them.
  • Fitting it in. Doing things like taking the stairs and going for a brisk walk on your lunch break are easy to fit into your busy schedule, and while they might not seem like much, they'll add up over time.
  • Doing it anyway. Yes, you're tired, but exercising with not only revive you, it will help you sleep better at night. Trust me, you'll never feel worse after a workout.
