Work a little exercise into your daily routine.
For example:
Park your car at the farthest point in the lot at work or at the supermarket and walk from there.
Walk up and down stairs instead of taking an elevator.
Walk or ride a bike to the store or a friend's house instead of taking the car.
Take advantage of a few minutes during a coffee break to do some bending and stretching exercises.
Do some stomach crunches or exercise your arms with dumbbells (or big cans from your kitchen cabinet) while you watch television.
Take a brisk walk before or after work - or during your lunch break. It'll provide your daily exercise and relaxation as well.
Look for things that you like to do to provide exercise.
For example:
If you enjoy competitive sports, join a softball league or play basketball or tennis.
Play golf, but walk instead of riding in a cart.
Activities like bowling, swimming, gardening, and dancing can also be good exercise.
Yoga, tai chi, and similar activities are also an excellent way to get exercise and improve strength and flexibility.
Jog, ride a bike, or lift weights if you want more strenuous exercise.
Try karate or kickboxing if you're looking for a real challenge.
Do aerobics at home with a videotape or join a health club and participate in group activities.
Reminder!
Consult your doctor before starting an exercise program if you haven't been getting any exercise for awhile.
