Break Exercises! Decide whether you'd like to do this while you watch TV in the evening, or maybe while you're at work or home all day: At every commercial/bathroom break, take a few minutes to do any combination of push ups, sit ups, lunges and jumping jacks. You could pick a number of breaks you'll do this for or a number of each exercise to do each time as your goal, or a combination of both.
