Easy
Tips to add more fitness to your life:
Find
a set time to exercise and schedule it in along with your other top
priorities.
Find
the time that works best for you. Is
it first thing in the morning? Lunch
time? After work?
Start slow:
You
don’t have to compete in the Olympics next week.
Start by walking around the block for 10 minutes, slowly build up
to a 30 minute walk.
Breathe!
Practice
‘belly’ breathing. Good
oxygen flow energizes the entire body.

Have
a friend that will help nudge you into exercising when you may have opted
to skip a day.
