Regardless of where you're at in your life, it's important to get a little bit of exercise every day. This isn't to say you have to do a 3-hour workouts every morning, but it's important that you do something, anything, to get moving, not only for your waistline but for your health. Here are some ways to get some activity in every day:
  • Do some housework -- it's good for you and your house.
  • Walk! Anywhere -- to the post office, on the treadmill, or around the mall.
  • Do some gardening or some yard work -- raking the leaves is a great workout. So is shovelling snow.
  • Wash and wax your car
  • Get outside with the kids -- even if they can't walk for themselves, grab the stroller.
  • Dance. Do it in your home, to your favourite song, and if you're self-conscious, do it somewhere no one can see you.
  • Take the stairs. Yes, you've heard this one before, but that's because it works!
For me, I ride my bike or walk to do my errands. That way, I'm getting exercise and still getting stuff done. How do you fit in exercise?
