1) Make time. Skip unwanted TV shows. Get up half an hour earlier each day for a light morning workout. If you believe that you do not have significant time then try 10-minute walks, or half a workout in the morning and half in the evening. Downloading a few audiobooks, and then going for a walk is extremely useful.


2) Build activity into your daily routine. Take stairs. When commuting, get off the bus or train a stop or two ahead.


3) Find a workout buddy. Working out with a friend can be more enjoyable, plus you're less likely to cancel on the spur of the moment.
