“Too Busy” to Exercise?

Finding it hard to fit regular exercise into your busy schedule?

These tips can help you make 30-60 minutes of exercise a part of every day:

* Divide exercise and activity into 10- or 15-minute segments.

* If you have stairs in your home (and don’t have knee pain), go up and down a few extra times.

* Use a pedometer to measure the steps you take; work up to 10,000 a day.

* Take a brisk walk for at least 10 minutes each day.

* Treat housework and yard work as a workout.

* Keep an exercise diary-it will make you more aware of what you do already and may reveal opportunities to add more activity to your day.
