By creating a schedule, you will be able fit in those minutes each day, even if it is for just a short time.
Take The Long Way
Another way to exercise when you have no time is to take the long way. We tend to take the shorter way or send someone else to get us something. But instead of the elevator, take the stairs. Get out and walk to where you need to go. Investing in a FitBit can really help you want to get more steps in. Take advantage of your lunch hour at work and walk the area surrounding your office!

On weekends when trying to decide between spending time with your family or going to exercise, why not make it a family adventure? Get the gang together and go for a hike. Rent bikes and ride around the city. Take the dog for a really long walk. There are many options to fit exercise in when you don’t have a lot of time. Use the weekends to help get some quality time AND exercising time in with family members or friends too.
Join a Gym With Workout Classes
