Today’s Fitness Tip
Prioritize exercise
Do you find yourself making excuses to skip a workout? Start coming up with solutions to your obstacles. Schedule workouts as you would any other important activity. You can also slip in physical activity throughout the day. Be creative! Opt for the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can, or do strength training exercises with free weights or resistance tubes while watching TV at night.
