Short, frequent bouts of exercise, such as a few minutes during commercial breaks are an effective way to make sure you’re getting a sufficient amount. Try to walk in place on commercial breaks. You can even work with small weights while you sit on the sofa. You will always find some amount of time to squeeze a workout in, no matter how busy you are.
