Always Busy Fitness Tips

As Always Busy Women, we often think we don’t have time to fit in a workout. Here are some quick tips that will help you squeeze fitness into your already busy schedule!

-Wear a pedometer. Keep track of your every move, and I bet you will be surprised at how much moving around you do. Park the furthest away, take the steps and avoid taking any short-cuts. Just by keeping track of your moves will help you realize how much exercise your are getting into your day without even trying.

-Put hand weights at your desk. Sitting at our desks all day long isn’t the best for us. Try taking 5 minute breaks throughout the day. Stand up, grab your hand weights and do a couple of reps. Not only will this help you feel better, but it will help you regain energy and allow you to refocus on your work.

-Find a work out partner. Find a friend or associate at work and make a pact. Walk at lunch or take a quick walk on your break. Keep each other accountable.

-How about a walking meeting. Instead of sitting at a conference table or in a coffee shop at a meeting how about suggesting a walk. We can all walk and talk, plus you will get that naturally rejuvenation from being outside and might even inspire some new ideas.

-Play with your kids. Take your kids, your friend’s kids or your niece or nephew to the park and run around with them. Kids have a never ending supply of energy, so let that rub off on you!
