FINDING TIME FOR EXERCISE

Busy people often find it hard to find the time to exercise, but 30 minutes of daily exercise can significantly reduce your risk of serious illness, including heart disease and diabetes.  Schedule your 30 minutes into your diary everyday like you would any other appointment.  If you can't find a 30 minute block of free time you can always break it down to smaller blocks of time.


Do a quick 10 minute walk on your lunch break and then when you get home spend 20 minutes playing a game with your kids outside.  If you don't have kids buy yourself a bike and go for a ride.  Most health professionals agree it is better to do some activity than none so aim to get moving for at least 30 minutes a day.
