I am a music teacher, and have students coming and going from my class every 30 minutes. While waiting for my next student to arrive, I do a set of core exercises, which takes +- 2 minutes. In a 6 hour teaching day, I manage to do at least 20 minutes of core work. Each second counts

I have an exercise ball and a medicine ball in my classroom, so I do exercises that incorporate them, and also do a lot of the exercises that are featured on Sparkpeople (for core).

I do some every time I go to the washroom. That way, they're done whether I'm home, at work, or elsewhere.

Every second counts
Sometimes procrastination slows down my goals - so I use this mantra "Every second counts!" It helps me remember to live life NOW. It helps me squash lies like, "Oh this one little bite won't hurt" or "I will start Monday" or "That was so good I should have a second helping". Every second counts!
Don't let fear keep you from doing the things you want to do. You may be concerned about what other people will think. Don't let other people dictate how you live your life. Do what makes you happy! Live your life to the fullest! Make every second count.
When I am totally exhausted when exercising on the treadmill I have a trick to push through it. I usually have a towel over the clock, but when exhaustion kicks in I remove the towel and begin counting backwards with the clock for each 30 seconds I have left. It helps so much with passing each minute by faster and keeps my attention on counting rather then being tired!
