If you are working and attending classes and don’t seem to have time for exercising, here are a few suggestions:

• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

• Walk to your class across campus rather than taking the bus.

• Meet a friend for a walk rather than meeting for a meal.

• Purchase a pedometer (meter that measures the total number of steps you have taken) and have your ultimate goal be 10,000 steps a day.? If you are not close to 10,000 steps, just add a few extra steps each day.? A little every day adds up and eventually you will reach your goal.
