What’s Your Fitness Personality?51qpruib2l-_sx407_bo1204203200_

Why do you go to the gym?  Is it a place where you can be social, or an escape from the busy world outside?  Whatever the reason, the easiest way to fit fitness into your day is to piggyback it into your daily routine.

  • If you walk your dog, turn it into a pacing exercise.  Walk faster to the next stop sign.
  • When Watching your child’s athletic game, bring a yoga mat and do squats and lunges as you watch the game.
  • Find ways to work more steps into your day such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

“Finding Your Fit” includes exercises you can do in a chair.

  • Granola Bars
  • Yogurt
  • Smoothies from Restaurants
  • Muffins
