Finding the motivation and time to workout is sometimes challenging, especially when life gets super busy.
We recentlyaskedtheBuzzFeed Communityto share their best hacks to get more exercise every day.
Here’s what they had to say:
1.

“I walk everywhere I go.
Invest in comfortable shoes.
Wear those shoes often.

White sneakers go with almost every outfit.
Wear them and walk!”
“Make it more convenient!

“The hardest thing about getting more exercise is just finding the motivation.
The biggest hack though is participating in a sport.

Plus, participating motivated me to do other fitness activities to make me better at the sport.”

That makes getting started so much easier, which I usually find to be the hardest part.

“Looking at workouts on Pinterest gets me hyped up.”

“I take a walk on my lunch if I don’t have errands to run.

Taking a 45-minute walk on my lunch has been a game changer.
Every step/movement adds up.”
“I set my workout clothes out the night before.”

“I work from home and use a walking pad under my desk.
Also, having a personal trainer to get me to show up and actually work hard.”

“I walk in place while watching TV.
For an extra challenge or bonus, I hold egg weights in my hands while stepping in place.
Before you know it, you have walked 1,000 steps during a 30-minute show!”

“Find something you love to do that happens to be physical activity.
Dancing might not feel like working out, but it sure is exercise.

Or, couple exercise with something you enjoy.
It raises my heart rate just a bit but doesn’t tire me out.
It also forces me to sit or stand straight, preventing the slouch on my shoulders.”

“I ride my bike to work.
“I put a gym in my living room.
There are zero excuses now to not get something done at least six days a week.
Plus, I walk to my grocery store instead of driving.”

19.And finally, “Health is not all or nothing.
That mindset made my workouts sparse and I never reaped the rewards.
Now I realize that maybe I won’t have the best workout of my life every day.
Maybe I moved slower today or I used lighter weights.
Maybe it wasn’t my best workout but I still showed up and moved my body.
