It takes time and effort to take care of your body. No argument here! But it\u2019s incredibly important to find time to exercise. The benefits of exercise are too important to ignore<\/a>.<\/h5>\n
Yet most of us are too busy to even make time for what we WANT to do, let alone find time to create new, healthy habits. It\u2019s not exactly relaxing to start a new exercise routine when you\u2019re already exhausted from work.<\/h5>\n
Thankfully, there are lots of ways to fit exercise in without having to go to the gym every single day. Doing the same thing day in and day out can get boring, and habits we find boring aren\u2019t habits we\u2019re likely to keep up forever.<\/h5>\n
Here are six great ways to sneak exercise into your daily routine. Each tip is tested for sustainability, and will make exercise a lot more fun than those one-size-fits-all routines you\u2019ve probably tried in the past.<\/h5>\n

1. Rethink your parking<\/span><\/h4>\n
\u00a0When you drive to work or to the grocery store, do you try your best to park as close as possible to the building entrance? You probably even drive around waiting for another car closer to the entrance to leave the parking lot? I used to be guilty of that! And I bet many of you can relate. But I am here to spoil it for you and tell you \u201cno-no\u201d! Park your car as far away from the building entrance as possible when going to work or shopping. Any additional walking benefits your body and it won\u2019t even feel like exercising. Without even knowing, you added at least 10 minutes of walking a day.<\/h5>\n

2. Rethink your commute<\/span><\/h4>\n
If you\u2019re in a position where you can walk or bike to work, that can be a start to your day that\u2019s both active and relaxing. You\u2019ll walk into the office centered from the movement and time spent listening to your own thoughts. Even doing exercises based around sitting can add up. Some shoulder flexion action<\/a> during the morning traffic jam can go a long way toward preventing stiffness and tightness in the body.<\/h5>\n

3. Do what you\u2019re a fan of<\/span><\/h4>\n
Love watching Dancing With The Stars? Take up ballroom dancing or even Zumba. Building your dream team during spring training? Try a few drills that the players are doing next time you\u2019re at the field. By building upon what you already love, you\u2019re setting the stage to have a lot more fun than doing exercise you \u201chave\u201d to do.<\/h5>\n

4. Recruit your friends<\/span><\/h4>\n
Ever hear the saying, \u201cThe more, the merrier?\u201d It applies to fitness, too! Grab a friend or two for a hike, jog, bike ride, or leisurely stroll. You\u2019ll find that the time flies \u2013 and you might even find yourself looking forward to your next excursion!<\/h5>\n

5. Don\u2019t punish yourself for low activity<\/span><\/h4>\n
The body adapts to activity levels, but it also loves resting. Even if you just stretch your body during commercial breaks, keeping your body from growing sedentary is a very good thing. So keep it going to see benefits! You\u2019ll never regret exercising, even if it feels like \u201cnot enough.\u201d<\/h5>\n

6. Join a competition<\/span><\/h4>\n
Do you consider yourself to be a competitive person? Then joining a competition could be the perfect option for you! Even if you don\u2019t have the skills to compete in a league for your activity of choice, you can still challenge your friends or yourself to up your game.<\/h5>\n
