I try to get some sort of exercise every day, but in reality, it's more like five times a week -- when it's not -20 out. So I'm pretty impressed with Kelly Ripa's recent admission that she never misses a workout. In a recent issue of OK magazine, Kelly told reporters, "I work out every day. I try never to take a day off. For me, one day leads to two days off, leads to five days off. I'm an all-or-nothing person."

As for finding time to work out? She says it's easier now that all her kids are in are in school but adds, "If you want something bad enough, you have to get up early and do it or wait until the kids go to bed. I go during lunch break."

Good for Kelly but if you're just starting a fitness regime for the first time come 2009, I would recommend giving yourself a day or two off. You can read more on Kelly's workout tips here, here and here.

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?
