Schedule appointments with yourself to exercise or you may find yourself going in directions you didn’t intend. Be prepared. Keep a gym bag in your car. Park your car far away from the shops and try and do more walking. A brisk walk is an excellent way to do some cardio.

Use the stairs. Stairs are an excellent fat burning exercise. If you can’t make it to the gym do body weight exercises. Press-ups, squats and lunges are excellent choices.

Remember, whatever you are doing, do it with meaning and purpose. To stay fit, treat all your activities like a workout. Walking across town, climbing the stairs or washing the car should be done at a brisk pace that keeps your heart rate up for a sustained period of time.
