10. Go for a Walk

Most of the exercises on this list are simple and quick enough to make them an excellent choice for busy women, but if you can't squeeze in the time for some aerobics, at least get out and walk. Set aside half an hour each day to take a briskly-paced walk or use the treadmill. Visit a park or a shopping mall, or even loop around the block a few times. Your heart will thank you for it, since getting thirty minutes of exercise every day has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease. For extra motivation, find a friend or co-worker to join you. Walking just 20 minutes a day can help you lose weight, increase cardiovascular health, and help improve your mental state. If you can't walk 20 minutes at first, start with five or ten minutes and increase the length of your stroll over an extended period. The most important thing to remember is to find a physical activity that you genuinely enjoy. Exercise shouldn't be a punishment or painful. The best way to solidify a habit is to set humble goals that are achievable every day.
