Being a personal trainer gives me the opportunity to speak with many women about fitness. When I ask women why they are not more active, most of the time they reply, "I don't have time!"
However, the choices that you make during the course of your day can help you to become more active. If you alter your behavior and thinking just a little bit, you will be able to squeeze more physical activity into your life and become healthier because of it.
Here are three healthy choices that can help you to squeeze a little more activity into your day:
1) Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. You can burn a lot of calories this way. Take a break once an hour during the day to take a walk on the stairs.
2) When taking the bus or metro to and from work, get off a stop or two early and walk the rest of the way. If you drive, park far away from the building and walk the rest of the way. (This also applies to trips to the mall or grocery store.)
3) Schedule exercise time into your Blackberry like you would any other appointment. And be sure not to cancel!
These small changes to your thinking will help you to get more exercise during the day-even on days when you can not make it to the gym. And you are still keeping it simple!
