Its Not That Hard to Find Time for #Fitness Take your kids to the park or ride bikes together. Go for a hike, take the kids swimming, or play hide-and-seek, tag, softball, or horseshoes in the backyard. Youre getting physical activity while enjoying family time. At work, schedule a meeting on the jogging track or on the golf course. Also, forget the idea that you have to trudge to the gym and spend an hour or more doing a formal workout. Instead, you can work short spurts of physical activity into your day. How about 10 minutes to jump rope? Sometimes thats better than 20 minutes of walking or running. Squeezing in two or three bouts of 15 or 20 minutes of activity is just as effective as doing it all at once, Vacuuming the house in the morning, riding bikes in the park with the kids in the afternoon, then taking a brisk walk in the evening can add up to an active day. Recent U.S. government guidelines say that to lose weight and keep it weight off, you should accumulate at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. But half an hour a day is all you need to reap the health and disease-fighting benefits of #exercise. Source: WebMD
