Time Saving Exercise & Diet Techniques


You don't have to make a whole production out of fitting fitness into your day. Cindy Whitmarsh, fitness expert from ExerciseTV has some time saving exercises that can easily be squeezed into your everyday activities, while still remaining effective! How?


1. Fit fitness into your day. Try standing on one leg anytime you are waiting in line for something! This will help your balance and core stability.


2. Travel with a cooler. Always have a cooler in your car packed with healthy snacks. This not only saves time; it helps avoid the fast food temptations!


3. Take 10! Try to fit in 10 minutes a day to focus on fitness. ExerciseTV has many 10-minute workouts you can do in the privacy of your own home that require no equipment at all! Everyone has ten minutes and at the end of the week you will feel the difference in not only your body but also your mood and mind!


4. Workout smarter! When working out try to pick multifunctional moves. For example, move from a squat into biceps curls followed by an overhead shoulder press and repeat. This will save time but also increase your caloric burn!


5. Incorporate core training into all moves. Try doing an entire workout sitting or laying on an exercise ball. Incorporating the ball forces your body to recruit its core muscles while performing any exercise. You will be working your abs and not even know it!
