No Time?
Is a busy life making it tough to fit in enough active time? Here's a little mental shift that can help: "My body's natural state is to be in motion, not to be still."
10 minutes of cardio gives you 10 times more benefit than 0 minutes of cardio.
10 sit-ups make you tighter and stronger than you were before.
Look for little gaps in your day. Your body wants to move! Find every chance to:
Park at the far end of the lot when shopping, at school, or work.
Take the stairs instead of an elevator.
Do push-ups. Do sit-ups.
Walk the dog a little longer, at a brisk pace.
Do chair or floor exercises while watching TV.
Cut back on-screen time. Get outside!
Walk around the block before walking to the mailbox.
Grab 10-minute bursts of time to be active.
Anna's story
I'd been so careful about my diet. But it seemed like the weight wasn't coming off. Then I figured it out. Now, I sneak in some burn time at the oddest moments. A lot! The pounds are coming off easier now!
