1. Experiment with your schedule to find out when you can get some exercise time in.
Make it a routine. Once it becomes a priority and a habit, it will be easier to keep up with it.
2. Get some exercise while doing errands.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Park further away from stores so that you have a longer walk.
3. Exercise on your lunch hour.
Find a good place to walk or join a nearby gym. If you are home with young children all day, try to find a gym with a babysitting program or classes that the kids can attend while you are working out. Make sure the program is something that the kids will enjoy and look forward to.
4. Wake up earlier.
Walk or jog outdoors. Or find a room in your home where you won't wake everyone up to do aerobics or a treadmill routine.
5. Walk whenever you can.
Take a 15 minute break at work and walk. Walk around the field at your kids' games. Walk your children to school or to errands instead of driving.
6. Plan fitness activities for your family on evenings and weekends.
Go for a walk, ride bikes, swim or play a sport. Join the local YMCA, gym or community center. Take classes together.
7. Take advantage of downtime.
Do yoga, sit-ups, resistance training or stretching while watching television or talking on the phone.
