Wake up. Go to work. And then head to the gym? Going straight from work to the gym is a hard slog for anyone, and at the end of the day most of us just want to get home and spend some time relaxing. Unfortunately, our sedentary work habits make it increasingly important to get exercise on a daily basis but, don't go buy a gym membership just yet: you can keep fit without leaving the comfort of your home.
The greatest workout tool you will ever have is your own body. It's amazing how many simple, effective exercises you can do with just your body weight alone: push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, lunges and anon. With this vast array of options you can keep yourself in great shape just be doing some work every evening you can even do it while watching TV to maximise your relaxation time.
Increasingly video game makers have got in on the fitness craze. Now you can purchase games which will take you through workout programs that are just as good as expensive classes. This is a great option for technophiles and people who need a little help to stay focused on exercise. You can also pick up neat additions like the Wii Fit Plus Board to make these games/exercise tools even more fun.
While people are putting a premium on exercise these days, it doesn't mean that it needs to intrude into your daily life. Instead you can easily exercise from home this combined with some gentle cardio, such as running or walking to work, will have you in perfect shape.
