Take a break. If you're home with young kids, you can fit in a quick workout while they're napping or playing. If you have a baby, you can let him spend some time in the playpen, swing or bouncy seat while you pop in your fitness DVD. Your little one will probably get a laugh out of watching mom work up a sweat.

Working Out At Work

Technology has given rise to some of the greatest advances in the business world. Unfortunately it's also given us one of the biggest drawbacks: office butt. Work can have us sitting in front of computers for hours on end, then it's home in the car and straight to the couch for TV. The result is a less than perky lower half.

Don't mistake this for a simple shallow aesthetic issue; long hours of sitting can cause other problems as well, such as poor circulation and all-over body tension. Of course, you probably can't change your job, but you can change what you do before, during and after work. If you can walk or bike to work, by all means do it. When you get there, take stairs and steps whenever you can, and use your breaks to walk and stretch.

It might help to start a fitness club at your job, so you and your co-workers can take walks together during your free time. The camaraderie you get from this type of club can be really energizing and motivating for everyone involved.
