Make Time For You!

How do you fit 30 to 45 minutes of exercise into your already hectic schedule every day?

Sometimes the pressures of raising children and caring for parents can seem overwhelming. Do you ever just want to throw your hands up and give up?

Take heart. You don't have to give up. Find just 15 or 20 minutes and get out in the fresh air where you can calm your soul and hasten your heartbeat! Pick up that jump rope and jump for as long as you can while watching your favorite show. Do jumping jacks, squats and push-ups during the commercials.

Don't have time to head out to the local gym or health club? Here's a great 5 minute workout you can do anywhere -

Today's exercise video is just one example of how to tone your body a few minutes at a time!

Want a tighter tummy? Try this effective mini workout and keep eating a healthy mix of natural foods.

Are the little ones getting restless? Encourage your children to join you in a race around the block! See if you can beat them! ( If you can - you're far better off than many of us! ) Make your mini exercise sessions a family affair!

Take care of yourself and you'll be in better shape to take care of those you love and care most about! Do whatever you can to sneak in a few minutes here and there. A couple 20 minute workouts add up to your daily quota! And some fitness experts suggest that you'll burn even more calories with two shorter workouts!

Invest some quality time in yourself! If you're currently exercising twice a week, then simply finding time for one more workout during that week will help you deal with life's demands!
