If you're already working out and are getting busy, do a shorter workout. Or exercise at home -- that way you don't waste any time driving, parking, or waiting for a class or equipment. It's still better to cut back on exercise than to not exercise at all.
And if you're not exercising regularly, what better time to start than now, to help avoid holiday weight gain?
Schedule exercise on your calendar every day, and make it a priority appointment.
An easy tip for beginners...Buy a pedometer and track the number of steps you take during the day. (Compare prices now on an inexpensive pedometer you can buy online to get started). If you've walked 2,000 steps, you've covered a mile. Try simple things such as walking to your co-worker's office instead of e-mailing, or taking the stairs. Take extra laps around the mall when holiday shopping or making gift returns. At home, walk around the house during tv ads and march in place while on the phone. Fit in activity however you can.
