Finding Time to Exercise
Written by Maria Gracia
Can't seem to find time to exercise. Try building a little bit each day into your daily routine.
1. Skip the escalator and elevator. Take the stairs.
2. Park at least a block away from work or get off the bus/train a few stops early. Walk the rest of the way.
3. Rather than meeting with a friend for lunch, consider going biking, roller blading or swimming together instead.
4. Do some calisthenics or ride a stationary bike while watching your favorite television program.
5. Do some simple stretches, while you're on the telephone and you're on hold.
6. Waiting for the washing machine or dryer to finish, or waiting for a computer file to download? Now is a great time for some sit ups or leg lifts!
7. Schedule just 10 minutes of exercise per day on your calendar. By the time to month is over, you will have exercised over 300 minutes! nn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~nby Maria Gracia - Get Organized Now! http://www.getorganizednow.com
