Get up earlier. If your days are packed and the evening hours are just as hectic, get up 30 minutes earlier twice a week to exercise. Once you've adjusted to early-morning workouts, add another day or two to the routine. Drive less, walk more. Park in the back row of the parking lot or even a few blocks away and walk to your destination. Revamp your rituals. Your weekly Saturday matinee with the kids or your best friend could be reborn as your weekly Saturday bike ride, rock-climbing lesson or trip to the pool.

Start a team. Join up with friends who are in the same boat. And have fun while helping each other work out. Forget the competition. Don't worry about becoming a superstar athlete or joining the hard-bodied athletes at the fitness club. Simply focus on the positive changes you're making to your body and mind.

Try your community center. Exercise classes offered through a local recreation department or community education group might fit your budget better than an annual gym membership.
If necessary, have a heart-to-heart with your loved ones. If they don't share your fitness ambitions, ask them to at least respect your desire to get fit. References Overcoming barriers to physical activity. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
