5. Get Out 4 Times a Week
Getting out of that musty gym and enjoying

different experience. Instead of counting
seconds on the treadmill, walk, run, or bike
around your neighborhood.
Your local park offers an excellent place to
walk or jog.
Getting out is the first step toward
improving personal productivity.

6. Go Social in Your Family or Community
Exercise can also be quality time with friends and family.
Instead of making the gym a lonesome affair, find a
partner.
Having someone to socialize with makes the time pass
faster and gives you a chance to develop personal
relationships.
After dinner walks let you get some fresh air, work out
your legs, and have a conversation. Another good
example is coaching youth sports which also contributes
to the community

more play.

exercise, saves money on traveling short
