Make Time For Exercise

Heather said: "Nice tips. If you work in an office, you can do stretches at your desk as well. A stress ball is good to use for your hands and wrists."

Here are some ideas for getting more activity into your jam-packed day. When you're really strapped for time, emphasize high-intensity. Focus on shorter, faster walks or runs. Make workout dates with friends. Agree on how long you'll exercise and make sure you stick to it. Be sure to tell family and friends that exercise is a priority for you. Ask them to be supportive about helping you fit exercise into your life. Take a close look at your week in search of time better spent exercising. Maybe you can give up a TV show to work out instead? Make activity part of your daily life. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park your car farther away, and pace while you're talking on the phone. Try working out in the early morning. You might find it to be more effective and rewarding. Always have workout gear -- sneakers, at the very least -- handy in your car and office. If you have some downtime, you'll be able to squeeze in a quick walk."
