To stay fit - you need aerobic exercise 30 minutes every day.
Do you have time to hit the snooze for 30 minutes in the morning? Do you have time to watch your favorite TV shows every night? Then you are NOT too busy to do aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes almost every day!
Instead of hitting the snooze:
Sleep is important, but so is aerobic exercise! You sleep every day, you should also exercise every day! Waking up 30 minutes earlier to do brisk walking on your treadmill, working out to an aerobic video, or biking at your local gym will get your morning started right. You will be able to focus the rest of your day to work and be with your family. If you work out in the morning, you don’t have to worry about for the rest of the day.
Instead of eating at your desk or going out for lunch during the work week:
Take a brisk walk. You are not the only one who does not exercise daily at your office. Working out with a friend or a group of people will increase your likelihood of sticking to your walking club. You can eat before or after a 30-minute walk or walk for 15 minutes, break for lunch, and take another 15-minute walk! Taking a break during your workout actually increases fat burning which is just another added benefit to taking a break during your work besides sneaking in lunch. Is it too cold outside? Use the skyway, walk inside the office, take the stairs to the top of the building, walk the top floor, take the stairs down to the next floor and walk that floor. Continue walking the floors until you get to the first floor!
Instead of sitting on the couch after your workday:
Drive straight to your local gym and get your 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in by taking a cycle class, swimming, or jogging on the track. It might be hard to motivate yourself to get to the gym once you are home, but by going to exercise directly from work will counter this possible problem. If you don’t own a membership to a gym, take a walk after work, walk your dog, walk to the park with your children, or exercise while watching TV. One rerun of Friends or Seinfeld is all you need!
