5 ways to find time to exercise

[Guest guest]

these were from the Pop Sugar web site -- I like that #5 was about bed time (and

wasting time!)

1. Go during lunch. Swap out a leisurely lunch with a power workout a few times

a month, and you'll be able to add a quick session into your day. If you're

pressed for time, dry shampoo, face wipes, and an organized gym bag can keep

your locker room time short and sweet.

2. Put it on your calendar. Blocking out time on your calendar will help you

schedule around your workout instead of just thinking you'll have time to fit in

it in and then not being able to.

3. Make a date with a friend. You know that exercise buddies can be the key to

a keeping you accountable in your fitness routine, so if you feel you're in need

of some catching-up time, then try scheduling a tennis session or a jog around

the park with a friend instead of brunch or drinks.

4. Make it short and sweet. There are many ways to fit in a 20-minute session

that gets your heart pumping, including working out at home or going for a quick

run. When we asked you, you had more creative ways to squeeze in some exercise.

FitSugar reader GummiBears likes to break out the jump rope, while trinachka

multitasks with free weights on the stair-climber.

5. Change your bedtime. If you find yourself wasting the end of your day on

mindless TV, going to sleep a little earlier could be just what you need to wake

up early enough to exercise before the craziness of the day begins.

This is great!  Instead of staying up late, I get up earlier.  Instead of

sitting at my desk at lunch, I now go for a mile walk.  Take less than 20

minutes.  I agree with all of these. 

If you don't make time for " you " who else will?
