7 Tips How To Fit-Fitness Into Your Schedule Without Going To The Gym.

How important is exercise to you? And if it's not, why not?

Do you really lack the time to exercise is there some other reason you're not fitting in workouts?




Exercise is just like anything else but, unless it's important to you,
you're never going to make time for it.

People who exercise don't necessarily have more time than you, they've just determined that what they're getting out of exercise is worth more.  Without your health, it's tough to enjoy life.

7 Tips on staying fit without going to the gym!

1. Buy arm weights for your home.  Arm weights can be used while you're watching TV or talking on the phone. Start with 8-pound weights and do three sets of 15 bicep curls each day. After two months, graduate to 12- or 15-pound weights, and add another exercise to your repertoire.

2. Buy a fitness video. A 15-minute aerobic routine is an excellent, quick way to bring cardio into your life. Or if Pilates is more your style, invest in a Pilates video instead. Either way, whether your fitness style is high-impact aerobics or intense yoga, there are lots of great fitness videos that you can use in your own home.

3. Use your lunch hour wisely. A brisk 20-minute walk during your lunch hour is a great fitness solution, especially if you can do it three or four times each week.

4. Take 15 minutes in the morning. Wake up 15 minutes earlier and do arm weights or a quick aerobic video routine.

5. Take 15 at night. Do 50 sit-ups and 50 push-ups 30 Tricep Dips before you go to bed each night or while watching your favorite TV show.

6. Invest in a good pair of walking or running shoes. Having the right equipment means you have one less excuse to avoid working out. Plus, once you glide into those comfy, bouncy new shoes, you'll want to run or walk practically everywhere.

7. Take a walk in the evening. This is an excellent fitness activity to do with a loved one or a close friend. Leave your cell phone behind and it can become a time for bonding and connecting with one another!
