Build smaller bursts of exercise into your working day. It can be hard to set aside sustained periods of time for a formal exercise program. You may find it easier, particularly if you're just starting out, to build smaller amounts of exercise into your schedule. On the way to work in the morning, try getting off the bus 1 or 2 stops earlier and briskly walking the rest of the way to work. During the mid-morning or mid-afternoon break, take a few minutes to do a few stretches. Put aside 10 minutes over the lunch hour for another brisk walk or close your office door and do a few calisthenics. Even simple exercise will, over time, have a positive impact. If you're spending 10 minutes a day going up and down the stairs, you can actually lose about 10 pounds over the course of the year.
