Sometimes getting in a workout a couple of times a week can be hard, especially with how most women’s schedules are lately. The key for burning some calories during the week may not be forcing yourself to the gym but finding ways to get activity in when you have time during the week, even on a weeknight.

One great way to get some activity is to take your dog for a long walk at least every day. Even if you have a backyard, squeezing in a half hour to take your dog for a walk is good, not only for you, but for your dog as well. The plus is that it will help keep your dog healthier as well as keeping up your health. It will also help your pooch burn some energy after being alone all day. Reserve a half hour of time every night after dinner and take your furry friend around the neighborhood.

Playing with your kids outside is another great way to keep up your activity level while also getting some time with the family. Play soccer, catch or even tag with your children a couple of times a week and you will find that not only do your kids sleep better, but you will get some good working out in as well. If you have a park or a school nearby, just go a couple of times a week and on the weekend.

A lot of activities your kids love are also great for getting you some exercise. Take bowling, for example. For just a few dollars once a week, you can take your kids to the bowling alley and get in three or four games equaling a couple of hours of exercise . Not only is it relatively low impact, but people of almost any fitness level can play. If you really like it, get some equipment like a ball, bowling shoes for women, and a bag so you can encourage yourself to go more often. You may even want to join a league depending on your activity level. Check out http://discountbowlingsupply.com for more suggestions for bowling equipment you need.

Finally, even if you are busy at work, doesn’t mean that you can’t put in a little time for some activity. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, park far away from the front door and take a walk around the block at lunch time and you will be able to get in some calorie burning exercise.

Even if you aren’t a member of a gym doesn’t mean that you can’t get in exercise, no matter how busy your schedule. Get activity in whenever you can and it will add up and help you become healthier.
