I'm
a secretary and work long hours. I've been putting off exercise, but I
know I should do something. Do you have any suggestions?
................................................................................
 Michael Collins: Exercise anytime and anywhere! There is no
excuse for
not
exercising.
An exercise can be as simple as some
freestanding squats with no weight
done in your office during working hours. It only takes a few minutes to
do the squats but this can be done a few times a day and it will
stimulate blood flow and increase your heart rate.
You can also get on the floor and do
pushups that will only take a few
minutes, but over time will add to your upper body strength.
Various yoga exercises, such as the standing poses can be performed
almost anywhere and this will add to your leg strength, posture and
balance.
 Everyone, no matter how busy they might claim to be, has the time to
spare a few minutes throughout the day to do these exercises. If
you believe that you don't have this much time then there is something
seriously wrong with the way that you are running your life.
Stretching is something that can also be done almost anywhere, even
while you are sitting at your desk. You can perform these simple
exercises while watching television and they are unlikely to disturb
anyone else in the room.
It can become quite a fun challenge to find different exercises that you
can do throughout the day while at work. All these exercises will
add to a healthier body and help to relieve some of the stress of work.
Get other workmates to join in and for fun challenge them to do more
exercises or hold poses for longer than you.
Other quick suggestions:
1) Walk around your workplace at lunchtime and before you start
work.
2) Take a few extra minutes to do some exercise before leaving
for home at night.
There are many opportunities throughout
the day where you can give your health a boost. Seize all the
chances you can to improve your fitness and you will reap the rewards
long after you retire.

What do you think of that diet where you eat certain foods based on your blood
type?
I’ve always been told to get a six- pack you need to do a lot of abs
work with high reps. Would you agree?
Do I need supplements to lose weight?
Is it possible to lose weight and gain muscle at the same time?
I’ve got fat located in
the area of my body where my arm meets my shoulder, and I can’t get rid
of it. Are there any exercises in particular that would help improve
that? Or what about any spot reducing supplements?
I know I should be having
some protein and carbs after a weights workout, but what about after
cardio? I've heard that you should wait 2 hours before eating.
You mentioned the benefits of scheduling a "cheat meal" into your eating
program at least once per week. Is there a best time to eat a cheat
meal?
Should I be counting my grams of fat, sugar, and calories?
What can I do to flatten my lower abs? I've been
doing crunches and hanging leg raises for the last year, but nothing
seems to help.
