What will you do for your health and fitness today?
Too busy to exercise? Well, we found 6 tips on How to Fit Exercise into Your Routine—No Matter How Busy You Are! Check out the full article from greatist.com HERE.
Pick a workout form that you can do almost anywhere, whether you’re traveling or getting home from the office late.
Choose a form of exercise that fits your lifestyle, personality, and taste. Not sure what you love to do? Don’t be afraid to experiment with different forms of exercise until you find what works best for you.
Today, it’s possible to find a competition suitable to your skill level in almost any sport. Sign up, set a goal, and notice what it does to you—odds are good it might be the push you need to keep yourself in the game.
The truth is that when we really need to, we get out of the office at the time that is necessary. Make a schedule (write it down if it helps!), stick to it, and remind yourself that working out is a priority worth keeping.
Make a note in your calendar every time you work out, and add up your workout sessions at the end of each week, month, and year so you can monitor your progress and identify areas for improvement. Measuring your activity levels (and ideally keeping notes on your progress) can help you to stay on track and realize when you’re slipping before you’ve completely lost the habit.
You don’t need an hour—or even 30 minutes—to get a complete, effective workout. And some exercises is virtually always better than none. We can always find a few free minutes in our day (yes, we can!). With an effective program, and done frequently enough, short and speedy workouts can do wonders to both the body and mind.
Do you still need some encouragement to get moving today?

2. Put on your dancing shoes. Not the sporty type? Dancing is a great way to get fit, and there’s a type to appeal to everyone: ballroom, country and western, salsa, African, folk dancing, square dancing. You don’t even need a partner; try belly dancing, hula, clogging or tap dancing.
5. Spice up a dull routine. Tired of your routine walk around the track? Walk to the park instead, and fly a kite. If you’re bored with the treadmill or elliptical trainer, spice up your workout with multimedia. Clip a tape or CD player to your belt, get audio books from the library, and enjoy “reading” while you work out. Or set up a portable DVD player and watch a movie.
6. Try something new. Go horseback riding. Try inline skating. Join in a community trash pickup. Build houses for Habitat for Humanity.
7. If you love a challenge and want to see real results, sign up for a civilian boot camp.
