1. Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster.

2. Burn 100 calories in 20 minutes by gardening, washing the car, walking the dog or pushing a stroller. It takes only 15 minutes of jogging, dancing or roller blading to burn an additional 100 calories.

3. Rowing, which engages more muscles than most other forms of aerobic exercise, burns more calories for equivalent power output than cycling or treadmill running. Rowing is a great low-impact lifeline for attaining aerobic fitness.

4. Yoga's systematic breathing techniques can help soothe stress, ease pain, and strengthen lungs. By paying attention to our breathing, making it deeper and more conscious, tension is released, uplifting the body, mind and spirit.

5. Boxing's benefits go far beyond how to pack a powerful punch. Boxing provides a 20% cardiovascular workout and 80% anaerobic endurance - the main catalyst for burning fat.

6. The key to sticking to a fitness regimen is to make a habit of doing activities that you look forward to and truly enjoy. An exercise habit doesn't form by accident; it requires scheduling and follow-through. Find activities you want to engage in and you'll find they keep your interest and prove enjoyable at the same time.
