On the EIGHTH day of wellness my blogger gave to me..."a tip about exercising"
Today's Tip (Day 8):
"No time to exercise? take a 10-minute walk during lunch!"
Dashing through the snow could be as simple as walking!
Walking is the easiest and simplest exercise that anyone can fit into a day. Whether you work at an office or out of your home, there is always a way to increase your daily walking time!
Busy, busy, busy. Everyone is fighting the time to crunch. And as we rush to fit in the rest of our lives, our workouts get the short shift. Don't let exercise routines fall to the bottom of your "To Do List". Making time for exercise is not as difficult as it seems.
How motivated are you to do it?
If you want to extend your "healthy lifetime" warrenty then listen up! By simply breaking down your day, you will be surprised at how much physical activity you can fit in. Check it out!
Tricks of the Trade
1. Put it on paper. When you have a dentist appointment, you write it in your planner. It’s the same with business meetings. SO why not schedule a time for your walk? Put it in your planner and stick to that time slot.
2. Look for small blocks of time. You don’t need 60 or 90 minutes to get a good walking in. Search your daily routine for small periods of downtime, and make them count. Try 5-10 minute walks two or three times a day.
3. Early bird workouts. Set the alarm one hour earlier and go for a walk. It may take a while to become accustomed to the new schedule, but you may discover that early morning walks compliment your schedule the best. In fact, they may even get you going better then that "cup of joe!"
4. Walk around the block. Sometimes the best time to walk is at home after work. Taking a walk around the neighborhood is convenient, unwinding and inexpensive when compared to the time and money put into a gym membership.

Wellness Tip: You can exercise three 10 minute exercise sessions or you can exercise for a full 30 minutes (if you can go longer, great!). It doesn't matter which way you do it...30 minutes = 30 minutes! Studies have shown that there are still health benefits if you "accumulate" the 30 minutes.

One of the things that really helped me make it through the winter was to create a little check list of exercises I planned to do to stay in shape. I had a box for every mile I ran and every time I did a set of ten crunches or pushups. I set goals for each week too. It worked out great for me!
