Start early, plan, and have a special reward for when you complete your exercise. It could be a show you like to watch, hot shower, etc. Plan for adding just one extra minute to your workout each day and reward yourself after to keep the good vibes going!

Through the day easiest way to increase exercise is to create tasks for yourself that will require more walking, ..park further from the mall entrance or grocery store when you go out. When you are home..take walk around the block..I named the block around my house, mount burlington..as just walking around the block seemed so daunting. Once I completed that, I set out to increase my goal a little longer everday. Also if you leave weights or exercise equipment within reach around your home in places where you normally tend to sit like the couch, maybe put a exercise ball next to it instead and sit on that and work on your posture or stretches. Anyways good luck

You could exercise in the morning and afternoon if you prefer those times but I would just exercise 2 times a day if you want to increase it or exercise for a long time but I would prefer 2 times a day.

Little workouts! Trying to commit to 30 minutes or an hour is overwhelming for me. But I can do 10 minutes in the morning, I can do 10 minutes of walking after I get off work, I can do 10 minutes of stretching before bed. That’s 30 minutes of exercise without any big chunk of your day gone and almost no new equipment or clothes

Try to find a beginner exercise routine the night before so you are prepared what you will do in the morning. Try to drink water first thing when you open your eyes. Freshen up. Brush your teeth. Sit down in with folded legs and take some deep breaths. When you are relaxed follow the exercise you found at night and workout. it can be 5 minutes workout or 10 minutes workout. After that drink water again and take a bath. Last step is to have a nice healthy breakfast. These steps are going to make you feel fresh and active right in the morning and you would be wanted to use your body more and more. Keep a target of completing a number of steps in the day. This is how you would be able to exercise through the day. It all depends on how you start your day.

Have a stronger mentality towards health. My lungs aren’t the best right now and I hate it so much. So let’s change that.

Make it fun. Find something that brings you joy instead of frustration. For instance, I hate running. But I love music so I dance and exercise becomes enjoyable and I look forward to it. Find what works for you.

To set the intention of creating more movement in the body first thing in the morning. Make time to do a small amount of movement first thing in the morning and you’ll be on your way.

Park Your car as far away as possible when you go shopping. Instead of leaving the cart by your car, turn it to it’s proper place. You’ll be surprised how many steps you’ll rack Up.

The first step is to acknowledge the length of time and set a target. Then as you begin you ensure you are breathing properly and know that you will feel better when you are finished.
