How to Fit Small Bursts of Exercise Into Your Day

Doing the same, long exercise for hours on end will not help you get fit and healthy. In order to do so, you may want to try fitting in small "bursts" of exercise into your everday life. Read this guide to help you kick-start your life to a better you...

Steps

1. Continue your life as normal. Go to work, go shopping with friends, just live your life as you would each and every day. When you're at work, typing on a computer or sitting at a desk for long periods of time, stretch your muscles and kick your legs under your desk. This is the first step to a fitter body.
   
2. Walk your dog. It's great exercise, and not only is it healthy for you, it's great exercise for your pet! But if you don't have a dog, you could always try to walk a little everyday. Instead of taking the elevator, use the stairs. If you live ten minutes from work, walk or cycle. Instead of driving the kids to school, walk with them, and encourage your kids to become healthier too.
   
3. Stay positive. Being positive will not only keep you motivated, but it increases your life span and can make everyone around you feel happier. Learn how to motivate yourself, and stay focused. You could lose pounds, and not even know it.
   
4. Tag along with a friend. When you exercise with someone, you lose weight faster. If you don't have a lot of local, close or any friends, you can make friends by joining a gym or dance club. This will help you stay healthy and have a balanced social life.
   

Tips

• Keep a cold bottle of water with you whenever you exercise. It's very important to keep yourself topped up with water, especially if you walk or exercise everyday.
  
• Eat healthier. Try to eat at least five pieces of fruit or vegetables everyday. Swap colas and fizzy drinks for smoothies, or better still--water!
