How do you make time to work out?
Being fit means being active, whether you take a leisurely walk at lunch or spend a couple hours at the gym every day. That leave many potential exercisers frustrated by the question “Who has the time?”
The good news is, as little as 30 minutes a day can be enough to get started. And the better news is, you don’t have to do it all at once.
Try breaking up your activity into three ten-minute bursts. What can you do in 10 minutes? Here are some ideas.
- Jumping jacks
- Jump rope
- Brisk walk or jog
- A few trips up and down the stairs
- Walk the dog
- Hula Hoop
- Play tag with your kids
- Dance to a few of your favorite songs
Each of these activities burns calories, whether you do it for 30 minutes straight or in three sessions. And at the end of the day, it’s calories that count.
I have a printed calendar of all the classes offered at my gym, and I highlighted the ones I’m interested in, so if I’m bored and have an evening free, I can try something new. I also sometimes squeeze in a few yoga poses in a secluded place during my lunch break, to help correct the inevitable hunched-over keyboard slouch of the work day.
What do you do to make the time for exercise?
