No time for exercise? It's a common excuse, but these practical strategies help you incorporate movement into even the most hectic schedules.
During your morning ritual
– Wake up a bit earlier for a quick workout before your day begins.
– Do squats while brushing your teeth.
– Alternate knee lifts or single-leg stands while blow-drying your hair.
To and from work
– Park farther from your destination.
– Get off the bus one stop early.
– Use the restroom on another floor.
– Visit colleagues in person instead of emailing.
– Take calls outside and walk—great for vitamin D too.
In between
– Bike to the store for errands.
– Jump rope during short free moments.
– Search YouTube for a quick workout video and go for it!
