Step 1
Try walking, biking or skating to work. If this takes longer than your usual commute, plan ahead: Pack your briefcase and lay out your clothes the night before. Remember to have an extra set of clothes at work for a quick after-commute change, if necessary.
-
Step 2
If an alternate commute is impossible, get off the bus a little earlier and walk the rest of the way, park at the far end of the lot or take the stairs instead of the elevator.
-
Step 3
Make use of your lunch break. Play a quick game of racquetball, make a speedy gym visit, go for a jog or take a brisk walk (use some light hand weights for a bonus workout).
-
Step 4
Stretch at your desk. This reduces muscle tension, gets your circulation moving and prepares you for more strenuous activity later.
-
Step 5
Do some chores. Mow the lawn or rake the leaves for 20 minutes. Housework burns calories, and you have to get the work done anyway.
-
Step 6
Play games with your kids. Shoot some hoops, play some hopscotch or toss a ball.

on 7/15/2009 I have a really busy lifestyle and between two kids, a husband and a job it can be super difficult to squeeze in exercise daily. After having my second baby I discovered ExerciseTV. I didn't have time to leave to the gym and the expenses for a personal trainer were ridiculous. With ExerciseTV I am able to workout at home, on my TV and for free! Right now I am really loving the celebrity trainer workout series Jennifer Galardi (Adrien Grenier's trainer) is super awesome and totally kicks my butt! I highly recommend it
