Quick workout tips from Denise Austin
Strapped for Time?
Having trouble squeezing in your workout? Try these tips from other busy Fit Forever! members:
- Set your alarm to go off a half-hour earlier than everyone else's, and get your workout out of the way first thing!
- If a mad morning rush leaves you with no time, try getting everything ready the night before (including lunches packed and clothing set out).
- Don't be afraid to delegate some household tasks to other family members and make time for exercise! You shouldn't try to do everything all by yourself.
- Cut down on kitchen time by making double recipes and freezing half for a quick heat-and-eat meal another day!
- Take your kids to a school or park and walk laps while they play or go on a bike ride together.
- If you can't fit in one 30-minute walk, break it into three 10-minute jaunts throughout your day.
- Tone up with fidgetsizes! Do butt squeezes in the elevator, leg lifts at your desk, leg squats while blow-drying your hair, tummy tucks while watching the news, etc. Do what you can, when you can.
- Think small! Even if it isn't a full workout, five or 10 minutes of movement is better than nothing!

Find the Perfect Gym!
Joining a health club is a great way to jumpstart your fitness. But how do you choose the right one? The experts at the American Council on Exercise (ACE) advise customers to consider these factors:
- Location: Choose a location that's close to either your home or work, along your regular beaten path. If it's not conveniently located, it's too easy to skip!
- Class schedules: If you want to join group classes, make sure the club has a variety of them scheduled at times that work for you.
- Staff: Personal trainers and group class leaders should be certified through a recognized certification organization such as ACE.
- Hours: Make sure the club is open at times you'll want to use it. Visit to see how crowded the classes are and how long the lines for exercise machines are during those times.
- A test drive: Try the club out before you commit to an extended club membership. Ask for a free trial!
- Payments: Get all the details about club fees. Is there a membership fee in addition to monthly fees? Are some services extra — for example, towels and child care? Are there any specials?
- Reputation: Ask around to find out how others feel about the club. Check with the Better Business Bureau to make sure there aren't any complaints on file.
- Little details: As you tour the club, take note of how clean it is, how loud the music is, and whether the machines are maintained. Is the atmosphere a good fit for you?
