Great minds think alike!  People all over the country are looking for ways to squeeze exercise into their daily routines.  The SqueezeItIn.com Girls will be scouring the globe looking for the best suggestions, articles, videos, and more, so you have a one-stop-shop to help you fit in fitness. 

Here’s a great example from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

No time to exercise? Stretch, do other moves as you go about day | ajc.com.

One of our favorite passages from the article really embodies the spirit behind SqueezeItIn.com:

Waiting in line? Waiting for your food to warm up in the microwave? Just brushing your teeth? Pasion said to try balancing on one foot. “See how long you can do this. Fifteen to 30 seconds would be ideal,” he said. Pasion’s ideas about squeezing the glutes and contracting the abs are also inconspicuous ways to work out while waiting in line.

You can even make the most of a minimal wait. Geoff Bates of Roswell said he gets in about 50 push-ups just waiting for his water to warm up in the shower.

The reason SqueezeItIn.com exercises works is because they can be done as part of your regular daily routine in 3 10-minute bursts of physical activity.  

The American College of Sports Medicine does a great job of explaining this life-changing principal it in its Physical Activity Guidelines.  Here are our favorite tips from the ACSM for getting enough physical activity: 

With busy work schedules, family obligations, and packed weekends, it can often be difficult to get the recommended amount of physical activity. Try these tips for incorporating exercise into your life:

• Do it in short bouts. Research shows that moderate-intensity physical activity can be accumulated throughout the day in 10-minute bouts, which can be just as effective as exercising for 30 minutes straight. This can be useful when trying to fit physical activity into a busy schedule.
• The gym isn’t a necessity. It doesn’t take an expensive gym membership to get the daily recommended amount of physical activity. A pair of athletic shoes and a little motivation are all you need to live a more active, healthier life.
• Make it a family affair. Take your spouse, your children, or a friend with you during exercise to add some fun to your routine. This is also a good way to encourage your kids to be physically active and get them committed early to a lifetime of health.
