First, make exercise the easy choice.

When getting dressed for the day, try putting on your workout clothes first. Go for a quick morning jog, a brisk walk around your neighborhood, or even do some exercises in your home to start the day.

If you've already got your athletic clothes on, it makes it easier to get back.

If you don't have time in the morning, make a fitness appointment later in the day.

Schedule a little exercise on your break at work, at the end of your work day, or even at night.

Blocking off some time on your calendar makes it more likely that you will stick to your fitness plan.

Even just 10 minutes of exercise each day leads to great health benefits.

It's easy to get bored of the same old routine, so mix it up.

If you like jogging, biking, or taking walks, open up the map app on your phone or computer and pick a new area to travel to.

You can even pick a new spot every day. This is a great way to discover new things about your neighborhood and to keep physical activity fresh.

Another great tip is to fit a little activity into your day exactly as it looks now.

Working long hours? Squeeze in some squats or stretches at your desk or in the break room.

Is there something good on TV? Do some jumping jacks or push-ups during the commercials.

Did you just get back from the grocery store? Climb your stairs a couple extra times while holding onto your grocery bags.

Little activities like this burn extra calories and build your strength.

And of course, whatever you do, find joy in movement.

If you love music, dance. If you love the outdoors, do something outside.

And if you enjoy doing group activities, for instance, going to workout classes, we encourage you to sign up for online classes or live video streaming.

Don't think of exercise as a chore that you have to do, but think of it as something that you get to do.

Of course, we recommend checking in with your doctor before making any changes to your exercise habits.

Stay safe, have fun, get moving.
