| 3. TV time can also be exercise time. Most everyone likes some relaxing time in front of the television. But just sitting there on the sofa isn't doing your body any good. While watching your favorite flick, do some leg lifts, pump some light weights or simply use the opportunity to do some good ole' stretching exercises. 4. Don't park too close. Rather than parking right near where you work or shop, if you're in a safe area, park a number of blocks away. Then, get out of the car and walk. It's the perfect de-stresser before work and allows you to take in some fresh air on the way to work or a store. If possible, you might even opt to bike or skate to your destination!

1.Don't just sit there. There are so many opportunities to keep moving. When you take your kids to the park, chase them around, do some push ups, strengthen your arms on the monkey bars--whatever you do, don't just sit on a park bench if you haven't gotten in any exercise yet that day. 2. Catch up with a friend. Rather than catching up with a friend over lunch or dinner, go on an exercise date instead. Go jogging, swimming, biking or anything that keeps you both moving. Your friendship will blossom and you'll both be staying fit and healthy.
