Short on time and exercise? Consider running. All it takes is 40 minutes and a pair of sneakers. It's free, fast and all those endorphins make you feel good.
It's not a perfect workout: it's all cardio. But it is better than nothing.
If this appeals to you and you've never given much thought to running before, consider a running class. You'll learn about proper techniques and hopefully avoid injury, and how to pace yourself to maximize your workout. Once you've learned the basics, you can pretty much set your own agenda; or you can move on to an advanced class and train for a half marathon, if your a goal-oriented person.
Why should you take my advice? After taking a handful of classes, I rediscovered running and I'm having a great time with it. I run sporadically and the only goal I have is to run as often as I can.
I've rarely met a parent who found the time to exercise adequately, yet it's a great way to increase energy, release stress, improve sleep--all of which most parents can use.
