Household chores do, in fact, burn calories and can give health benefits. Besides incorporating exercise into family life, another approach parents can use is to optimize the occasional lulls in their schedules. The suggestions below may help you find the time and energy to exercise on your own. Be organized, so that the rest of your life is operating smoothly and all your other responsibilities are being met. Try establishing a routine.
Many people rise early to exercise before daily responsibilities begin.
The energy gained from regular exercise may compensate for any lost sleep. In fact, exercise might even help you sleep better. Try letting something go. Avoid elevators when practical. Walking up or down as many as six flights of stairs is usually faster than waiting and riding, and you will feel better.
