Stop thinking of it as exercise. That separates it from life, which is counterproductive. No wonder you still don't have ripped abs! Better to think of being more active. This subtle shift in mind-set appears to be more conducive to long-term health and weight loss. Russell Pate, PhD, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina, compared two people, one who was "sedentary" (but active most of the day) and one who exercised for 60 minutes daily (but who was not very active). The sedentary person expended 10 percent more energy than the exerciser. So if you're constantly feeling as if you don't have time to get to the gym, make the world your gym. Do errands on foot, trade the tractor for a push mower, and open the garage door by hand rather than remote. Active is the new fit.
