I struggle with fitting in my exercise routine each day. I just plain stink at it. And then I get discouraged and do nothing. But there is a better way. You can get the same results by simply breaking up your exercise into small bite-sized pieces (punn intended) throughout your day. Try these 5 exercises.

5 Ways to Exercise Throughout Your Day

1. DVD IT - Do 15 minutes of your favorite exercise DVD in the morning before your shower. Set a timer and stop the DVD after 15 minutes, not slowing your morning routine down at all.

2. STAIR IT - Walk up and down your stairs at home or at work for 15 minutes during your lunch break.

3. WALK IT - Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk to work. Or walk briskly for 15 minutes during your lunch hour or when you get home from work.

4. RUN IT - Jog on your treadmill or in your neighborhood after work for 15 minutes. That's like 4 songs on your MP3 player.

5. JUMP IT - Jump rope or simply jump up and down for 15 minutes, bending your knees and breathing deeply.

By simply adding 3 of the following bite-sized exercises to yoru day will add 45 minutes of daily exercise, burning calories and losing weight.
