3 Simple Ways to Make Lifestyle Changes:

Having a busy schedule makes it very difficult to go to the gym but I still find ways to get my exercise in at least three times a week. This simple routine will not cost you a penny and is very effective if you are consistent. This is a great method for people who not only do not have time to go to the gym, but also dislike going to the gym. If you align with any of these, I hope this exercise helps you in staying fit!

The exercise that I find very challenging but easy at the same time is stair climbing.  Climbing up and down a long stairwell several times gives me a great cardiovascular workout as well as strength conditioning.  This can be accomplished at your local park, neighborhood, or within the comfort of your own home if you have a stairwell. This exercise will lift your gluteus maximus (aka butt) and tone your legs.

Another way I get my exercise on the run is to walk around my kitchen island several times for at least 15 minutes, 3-5 times a week. It may sound simple, but you’ll find that it doesn’t take long to get your heart rate up, which is when you’ll really see the calories start to burn. Just be sure to set a pace suitable for your level that you can maintain. Don’t overdo it!

One final way to fit in some cardio, is to periodically do squats throughout the day. Especially if you work from home or have a job that is sedentary, it is good to make sure you get up and get moving. Squats are excellent because they are an exercise that engage your legs and core muscles, which strengthen you for everyday activities.
