Are you finding it hard to fit exercise in? Many of us pack so many tasks into our daily routine, there’s not even enough time to relax let alone exercise. If you have attended my Exercise Adherence lecture you know that “lack of time” is one of the most common excuses for not sticking to a regular fitness program. But what you forget to realize is that in the time it might take you to go through your e-mail, or even read this blog post, you could have fit in a workout?!Let’s face it…your fitness level does not live or die by 60-minute workouts. Short bouts of exercise, when accumulated, have been shown to share similar benefits to longer workouts.

Just by participating in your daily thermal walks you were averaging around 60 minutes of additional daily physical activity- I bet you didn’t even think of it that way!
