How can I fit exercise into my busy schedule?

in

The usual tips like walk or bike to work, even part of the way, walk stairs whenever possible can help. Also remember that you can divide up your “dose of exercise” and do it in smaller increments throughout the day, as long as you elevate your heart rate during each experience. Keep weights at your desk and get in some arm workouts or squats and lunges during the day if you can. Commit to setting your clock even 20 minutes early and keep workout clothes by your bedside (or even wear them to bed).

Make it a regular habit to pace or do actual exercises when you talk on the phone. At the office you can do pushups off the wall or hold a plank position several times a day, if your clothes comfortably allow it. Dance at home to music while you cook and certainly commit to workouts on the weekend. Commit to lunchtime workouts by bringing sneakers to work and invite co-workers to join you.
