The
Fit-in 15 was developed by Canada’s chiropractors, experts in muscle and joint

to find time in a busy day to focus on your fitness. That’s why they created

Here are some tips to help you fit-in your fifteen minutes each
day
and get you started.
and get you started.
1.
Have a distraction: Research studies show that people
who have a distraction are more likely to stick with a fitness activity than
people who don’t. If you are fitting in your fifteen minutes indoors, listen to
the radio, play music you enjoy, or work-out while watching your favourite TV
program. These are all pleasurable distractions that will make your fifteen
minutes fly by and add to your enjoyment of fitting in time for yourself.
2.
Have a buddy: Research studies also tells us
that people who get active with a buddy find it easier to stay active. Invite
your partner, a friend, neighbour or relative, one of your children or the
family dog to join you for a 15-minute walk or workout. Make it a time to talk,
laugh and connect.
3.
Pick a specific time of day: Decide on
the best time of day to set aside time for your fifteen minutes. That way it
becomes something to look forward to and you can schedule your other activities
around your fifteen minutes. Keep to your scheduled time as much as possible.
4.
Try not to miss a day: Think of fitting in 15
minutes as a regular daily activity, like taking a shower in the morning. It
can be easy to find reasons not to Fit-in 15—there are always so many other
things to do. But the more you fit it in, the easier it gets until you hardly
have to think about it.
5.
Change up your program: Keep your fifteen minutes
interesting by varying your activities. Try out the different ideas on the Fit-in
15 website or create new activities of your own.
