* Make sure you fit in at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day. You can start slow with activities such as walking or swimming. For example, take a 30 minute walk around your neighborhood after breakfast. Or if you work in an office, try taking two 15-minute breaks throughout the day to walk inside or outside of your office building. * Ask a friend or your partner to be your fitness buddy so the two of you can keep each other accountable. * Sign up for a beginner yoga or aerobics class at your local gym. * Check online to find both free and paid exercise videos that you can do from the comfort of your own home. * Start keeping a fitness journal to write down and keep track of your daily activity. * If you need a low-impact workout, try cycling (either on a stationary bike or an actual bike), swimming, or Pilates. * Practice daily yoga, meditation, or deep breathing in order to reduce stress levels and maintain a healthy mind-body connection. You don’t need a membership at a yoga studio to have a daily yoga routine; it can be as simple as doing 10 sets of sun salutations when you get out of bed in the morning. * Get at least eight hours of sleep per night. Practice good sleep hygiene by powering down all electronic devices an hour before bed. Create a relaxing bedtime ritual, such as writing in a journal, reading a book, or meditating or praying right before bedtime. Stick to a sleep schedule so you are going to bed at approximately the same time every night.
