When you are real busy and can't seem to get your exercise routine done, do simple exercises while cooking, talking on the telephone or watching the news. You can do simple exercises like leg lifts, streches etc.

Great ideas here. Thanks.

The upside: A useful tip, it works, it's great.
The downside: I must try to remember!

I try to remember to walk around the kitchen while the kettle is boiling - it's a new habit to get into and I'm not doing as well as I should. School report: "7 out of 10. Must try harder!"

if I can't get my work outs in for whatever reason, I fidget. cooking...I stand on my tip toes and lower several times. Walk on my heels a little bit, do standing crunches while brushing my teeth or stirring whatever cooking...etc...

Take the stairs, even if you dont have to.

At work I take the stairs to the 2nd floor bathroom, then when I'm done, I take the final flight of stairs up to the 3rd floor, then go all the way back down.

MORE INFORMATION:
Good if you can't get to the gym or have a problem getting exercise in throughout the day.
