One of the most common complaints among a lot of people is that they don’t have time to exercise. Given our fast-paced lives, we totally understand this, but exercise and fitness are a lot about attitude. You can include a little bit of action in your daily routine without allotting too much time to it, so it becomes manageable. Here are a few tricks that can help you sneak in exercise into your busy schedule, and move one step closer to a fit and fabulous life.
1. Move more:
Whatever your daily routine may be make sure you move around. Even if it’s not continuous movement, your body will stay active and so will your metabolism. Take the stairs!
2. Choose to walk:
Park your car away from your office so that you can squeeze in a little legwork.
3. Jog in place:
Another great way to trick yourself into exercising is to jog in place. You can do this at home or in office while you are busy with another task (just make sure no one’s watching you!)
4. Lift weights:
No, we don’t mean the huge dumbbells in the gym. Lift weights while you are watching TV or talking on the phone. You could even help your folks at home and lift their heavy grocery bags.
5. Indulge in outdoor activities:
Outdoor chores are the easiest way to stay fit. You can go to a park for a walk or play with your neighbour’s kids or simply walk up to the store.
6. Join a group:
Join an activity class like Zumba or Krav Maga where you meet likeminded people, who encourage you to stay fit.
