Establish an Exercise Routine

Establishing an exercise routine isn't as difficult as you think. You don't have to over-work yourself to exhaustion. You only need to increase your physical activity to a level where you're comfortable at. Look at your daily routine. With almost every action you do or place you go to, you can incorporate some extra physical activity. Here are several common ones.

• Take the stairs everywhere you go, instead of the elevator. When you take the stairs, take them slowly so your legs get more of a workout.

• Park at the end of the parking lot instead of fighting for the best parking spot in the lot, whether at work, school, the mall or the market. Doing this will literally result in you walking 3-5 more miles per year than before.

• When carrying around bags at the store, lift them and do arm curls. Lift the bags in a way so that your biceps and triceps get a workout.

• Then when you stand in line, stand on your tip toes to work out the calf muscle.

• If you're standing as you cook, bend your knees slightly to work out your thigh muscles.

• When lying down on your stomach reading a good book, bend your knees back and forth to work the area behind your thigh.

• If you lie down with a pillow between your legs, squeeze the pillow to strengthen your inner thigh area.

• To strengthen the pectoral area, do push ups against a cabinet that is waist-high. These are easier to do than regular push ups plus you don't have to get on the ground.

• When you need to pick something up off the floor, bend your knees and pick it up that way.

• If you have a dog, walk the dog while the sun is out. That way you'll work up a sweat and burn even more calories.

• As you lie down to watch TV, do some mini-crunches, there's no need to count how many you do. Don't stop when your stomach begins to hurt. To work your lower abs, keep your legs straight and lift your legs upwards.
