Fitting Exercise Into Your Busy Life
Women with careers and families often moan that they have no time to join a gym and exercise. Well, who said you had to join a gym? Exercise doesn't mean slinky leotards and Nautilus equipment. There are plenty of ways to get exercise that benefits you both emotionally and physically.
Multi-taskers can actually combine some facets of their exercise plans with work or their home life. Arm curls with hand weights are easy to do while watching television, or reading a document. Standing over a hot stove? Keep your kitchen watch from a couple of feet away while using portable equipment like a Stairmaster.
Take the kids to a pool and get in there with them! Swimming is one of the very best exercises there are for toning the entire body. Plus, you'll have fun with the youngsters and it can be a real family treat for everyone.
Walking is the best exercise of all. Consider going for a walk on your lunch hour. Not only is that a break from the stress of your job, the physical exercise will reduce the levels of adrenalin in your body that come with anxiety. It also helps the brain to produce seratonin, the "feel good" chemical. Walk your kids to school. Walk the dog before bedtime! You'll be surprised how fit just a simple trip around the block can keep you.
