Make fitness a priority
Physical exercise should be given the same level of priority as any important event. Regardless of what exercise you choose, 20-30 minutes 3 times a week should be religiously placed into your schedule. Tips to fit exercise into your schedule are:
  • Walk on your lunch hour or coffee break
  • Change social activities from getting a drink to getting together for a softball game, bicycle ride, or a walk
  • Do a business exercise session rather than a business lunch
  • Pedal your way to fitness and enjoy the scenery and the company of family or friends
Finding the balance
Exercise is not a luxury; it's an essential part of the balance of keeping fit and healthy in today's stressed-out, fast moving world. Everybody knows exercise is good for them. Keeping fit and healthy is not simply about losing weight, building muscles or becoming a fitness fanatic.

And it doesn't have to be about subscribing to the lycra-clad gym ethic that can deter well-meaning exercisers. It's all about feeling better both within and about you. It's about living a better life as well as living a longer one. It's about minimising the risk of diseases, lowering cholesterol and maintaining a balance in life. When you begin exercising, the benefits are immediate and they're cumulative. You feel invigorated, stimulated and refreshed straight away.

Exercise feels exhilarating even from the beginning and as you continue with your fitness programme, the feel good factor increases, making you feel better. Balance this with a comprehensive programme of active and healthy living in all aspects of life and the results can be amazing.
