Make your own healthy trail mix with your favorite whole grain cereals and dried fruits. Then separate it into small snack bags and you'll have a healthy on-the-go snack (Some of my favorite combos are Kix, Frosted Cheerios, and Oatmeal Squares with yogurt covered raisins, and dried goldens and cherries.
Craisins are a great add-in as well!) |

Perform simple strength building exercises like sit ups, push ups, jumping jacks or wall sits during the commercial breaks of your favorite television shows. You can use the commercials as timers and work out in 30 second to a minute intervals without missing your shows! |

Look for opportunities to exercise. Park in the back of the lot and walk a few extra steps before entering your destination; Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator; walk a lap around the mall before starting to shop; If talking on a cell phone, walk around the house or yard instead of just sitting still! |
