How (and why) to make exercise part of your routine?
THE 10-MINUTE EXERCISE PLAN FOR BUSY STUDENTS
A little bit of exercise can go a long way toward helping you stay fit and energized.
If you feel you "just don't have the time" to exercise, take a closer look at your schedule. There's probably at least one half hour every day during which you're just staring at the wall. That's not a waste of time, of course: your subconscious is working away on some problem or issue of importance to you. It can do the same while you're exercising, though. You will probably even sleep better, making up the half hour you "lost."
Exercise should be a routine like eating or brushing your teeth. If exercising is a habit that you perform automatically, you don't have the feeling that you're stealing time from some other, more important activity. Start with ten-minute chunks: jog around the block, maybe, at the start of each day before breakfast. Go for a swim just before dinner time. Or simply find a staircase to run up and down.
If you get discouraged, just remember: the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single lap around the pool.
