Exercise Tips for Busy People

Bring It Home: Traveling to the gym only adds to the inconvenience. Instead, start an exercise routine in the privacy of your own home and dedicate the time you would have spent traveling to extend your routine. Examples of easy-to-implement exercise ideas include flexibility and stretching, free weights and even spinning.

Multitask: Make the most of walking the dog or spending quality time with your spouse by getting out in the fresh air. Jog, walk or bike to add some much-needed cardio while catching up on the events of the day. It’s not only good for your heart but helps keep you close to the ones you love at the same time.

Walk tall: Stand up straight as you walk - no swaybacks! Keep your shoulders back, down and relaxed - not hunched over or rounded. Elongate your spine by looking forward, not down, as you walk. Try to gaze about 10 feet ahead of you. Your chin should be level and your head up.

Tighten Your Abs: As you walk, contract your abs. This keeps you from arching your lower back. Tilt your pelvis slightly forward.

Bend Your Arms: Keep your elbows bent at slightly less than 90 degree angles. Swing your arms front to back (not side to side), with your hands swinging in an arc from your waistband to chest height. Your arms should not cross your body. When you swing your arms fast, your feet will follow.

Play to Win: A little competition never hurt anyone, so why not make it a win-win proposition by joining a team or just getting together with friends and family for a little wholesome competition? Baseball, basketball or other team sports help keep you active and fit, with the added benefit of being fun for everyone.
