People with busy schedules usually have a hard time making time for workouts, but the truth is everyone can always find a few minutes to exercise. Sure, it may be hard, but as long as you’re willing to be creative there’s a way. Here are a few simple exercises you can do on your daily commute.

Park Farther Away

If you live far away from the office and you need to drive to work, parking farther away is a simple trick to exercise while commuting. Walking for only 10 minutes will help you stretch your legs and burn some calories.

Stretching

Whether you’re commuting to work by car, train, or bus, keep in mind that there are plenty of simple stretches, such as calf raises, you can do during a commute.

Isometric Exercises

Isometric exercises involve the contraction of a muscle without moving another part of the body, which means they’re an ideal activity for commuters.

Cycling

The easiest way to squeeze fitness into your day is to leave your car at home and bike to work. Cycling is an awesome low-impact workout that will help you burn major calories and the best thing is that you won’t have to worry about parking.
