Sometimes exercising can be a tough subject to talk about because there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to exercise! I've heard people say "the way to lose weight is to change your lifestyle", and I agree with that, but the major question is how? Maybe you don't want to loose weight. Maybe you just want to maintain your weight. I've provided a list of simple ways that you can get started with changing your lifestyle to incorporate exercise on a daily basis.
