4. Making supper? While you wait for a kettle to boil, do pushups while standing. Push your arms up against the kitchen counter while standing about an arm's length away. To strengthen your arms and shoulders, push in and out.

5. After supper, take your children and their friends outdoors to play tag or shoot hoops.

6. Exercise expert Sheila Cluff, who keeps a set of free weights on a shelf in front of her bathroom sink, advises performing a few repetitions of some dumbbell exercises just before bed or while giving yourself a facial at night. Cluff is the owner and founder of The Oaks at Ojai and The Palms in Palm Springs, California.

While you wait

7. While you are waiting for your youngster to start a music lesson, go several laps around the neighborhood. Add short bursts of running lasting one minute to your walks as your fitness level rises.

8. If you have a lengthy wait for a doctor's appointment, walk around medical facilities. Cluff adds, "I always ask the receptionist to let me know how long I have left to wait." "Most are typically very eager to share with you."

9. Take a stroll around the soccer field while your child plays.

10. Turn a visit to the park with your kid into a brief exercise session for yourself. Run for fly balls while bouncing the ball back and forth.
