Maria Gracia has posted 7 tips on where to find chances to do excerises. They are very practical and easy to do. I may not able to find excuses on not doing exercises anymore. These are the tips I like:
- Skip the escalator and elevator. Take the stairs.
- Do some calisthenics or ride a stationary bike while watching your favorite television program.
- Do some simple stretches, while you’re on the telephone and you’re on hold.
How do you find time to excerise? Did you do something like this?
Finding Time to Exercise [ Maria Gracia via Lifehacker]
I ride my stationary bike 6 days a week, twice a day. 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes after work. It took some training to get up early enough, but once I get into the routine I miss it when something gets in the way. The results have been great for me, having lost 45 pounds so far. Eat right, exercise.
I commute to work on my bike. That way, I’m forced to exercise, especially once I get to work. No way back home unless I hop back on!
It helps that I have a friend that meets me a couple of times a week to ride in. But I’ve now done it enough that it’s just second nature to pick up the bike and go.
some tips good other ridicule
if you use stairs, walk to work etc you will perspire too much and get wet or even odor using deodorant, we don´t like it
Re: Walking to work and perspiring
A lot of workplaces have shower facilities where you can clean up. At a minimum, a lot of clean up can be done in a restroom. Google on permutations of bicycle commuting and clean up, and you’ll find that a lot of people have found ways to work around the inconviences of sweat.

I suggest Matt Furey’s Combat Conditioning program. In my experience it works (don’t underestimate those hindu squats as i did, paid for it with sore legs for 3 days :) ), and the book is (relatively) cheap (US$30 is nothing to a lot of people, specially for the value of that). Time needed for a complete CC workout? about 15 minutes. Equipment needed? just your body. That’s why i liked it. Pavel Tsasouline’s Naked Warrior book is useful too and similar, but he has more of a sadistic streak on him :)
Google for that, i don’t have the links here, and if i post them it’ll sound more like an infomercial, which i dislike :)
[...] After the previous article on finding time for exercise, I promised myself to use the stair instead of using elevator, and at least walk couple of minutes per day. Recently, I have found WikiHow’s how-to has pretty useful tips on on helping you to start a walking program for exercise. I found these helped me a lot: Pace yourself from easy and increase your time on each session, and learn my maximum pulse rate. … 7. Seek to learn your maximum pulse rate (it depends on your age, not your weight) and try to keep your pulse at 65-75% of your pulse rate. If you are under it, you are walking too slow; if you are above it, you can, if you wish, slow down. Again, weight loss and aerobic health will come through sustained effort, not by speed or distance. 8. Try interval training where you walk for two minutes then rest for two minutes. Every day or two add an interval until you reach your desired goal of total time, including rest periods. As you become fit, reduce your rest periods until the rest periods are gone. … [...]
