4 ways to exercise, even with a busy routine

Physical activity tips for women with a busy day - and the desire to take care of themselves

With so many commitments, tasks and unforeseen events, it's not always easy to fit exercise into your daily routine. But movement doesn't have to be complicated - it can be simple, light and adapted to your time.

Here we've selected 5 practical ideas on how to incorporate more physical activity into your day, even with a busy schedule. Because taking care of your health is also about allowing yourself to take small steps every day.

1. Short walks throughout the day

You know that break between meetings? Or that little bit of free time before picking up the kids? Use that time to go for a walk. Tip: if you're at home, it's even worth walking around the house while listening to some podcast or solve something over the phone.

2. Replace the elevator with stairs

It seems like a small thing, but going up and down the steps of a staircase is a way of getting your body moving without needing extra time. In this way, the stairs can become a daily "mini workout".

3. Quick stretches in the morning or before bed

It's good for the body to start or end the day with a moment of stretching. These are simple movements that can be done in the bedroom or living room and bring a feeling of lightness.

Tip: choose some quiet music and take the opportunity to disconnect a little from the hustle and bustle.

5. Dancing counts - a lot!

Put on your favorite music and dance in your free time, while you prepare dinner or take a few minutes to yourself. Dancing is a delicious way to get your body moving, relieve stress and even release a little joy into the day.

In the end, the best exercise is the one that fits into your life.

It's not about training every day or following a perfect routine, but about doing what you can, lightly and consistently. Your body doesn't need to be rushed - just taken care of.
