Finding time to exercise is no small feat for many men and women. Obligations at home and at the office can make it hard to fit in a workout, a familiar quandary for men and women with multiple commitments.

Though it’s not always easy to fit in a workout when juggling multiple responsibilities, men and women must consider the responsibility they have with regard to maintaining their physical and mental health. The United States Department of Health and Human Services advises that healthy adults get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, and that such activity should be spread out over the course of the week. In addition, the DHHS also advises that healthy adults include strength training exercises in their workout regimens at least twice a week. Such a workout schedule can improve both physical and mental health, making it easier for men and women to handle their hectic schedules.

While such recommendations may seem manageable, many men and women still feel as if there’s just not enough time in the day for them to incorporate a daily exercise regimen. The following are a few ways such men and women can find time for fitness.

* Take a walking lunch. Many professionals

have heard of a “working lunch,” but those strapped for time to exercise might want to take a walking lunch instead. Rather than sit-ting at your desk or in your favorite booth at a nearby restaurant on your lunch hour each day, consider squeezing in some time to walk during those 30-60 minutes you normally spend eating or catching up on office gossip with coworkers. Invite a few coworkers along, walking to and from your favorite restau-rant or finding a nearby park and going for a quick walk. This is an easy way to squeeze in the rec-ommended 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each day, and you will no doubt feel more ener-gized after lunch than if you had simply eaten without exercising.

* Exercise in the morning. Research has shown that men and women who exercise in the mornings exercise on a more consistent basis than those who exercise later in the day, including after leaving the office at the end of the workday. When ex-

ercising in the early morning hours, men and women are less likely to encounter scheduling conflicts, as coworkers, colleagues and even the kids will likely still be asleep. That means

fewer interrupted or missed workouts.

* Prepare meals ahead of time. If working out in the morning simply won’t work out for you, then consider planning meals in advance so you can free up time between the office and dinner each night. For example, slow cookers and crockpots make it possible to start making dinner in the early morning and require little or no effort once you arrive home in the evening. Plan to cook a few meals each week in a slow cooker, which will free up time for you to workout when you would otherwise be prepar-ing dinner.

* Work while you workout. Smartphones and tablets have made it easier than ever to get work done while you’re away from work. This includes getting some work done while you’re getting in your weekly recommended aerobic

activity on the treadmill, elliptical machine or exercise bike. Thanks to smartphones and tablets, you can now read and answer emails and work on some projects while you sweat away those extra pounds.

* Get off the couch. Many men and women prefer to unwind on the couch as they catch up on their favorite television shows and movies. But such unwinding should not come at the expense of working out. Much like catching up on work at the gym, you also can catch up on your favorite shows and movies while at the gym. Many smartphones and tab-lets now have apps that allow users to access subscription streaming services, so users who can’t find time to exercise should take advan-tage of such apps and watch their favorite shows and movies from the treadmill instead of the couch. Readers who can comfortably read while exercising can follow a similar route and read on the elliptical instead of sitting sedentary in a chair as they make their way through the latest bestseller.

Finding time to exercise can be difficult, but even the busiest men and women have sev-eral options at their disposal as they attempt to make fitness a bigger priority in their lives.

How to find time for fitness

Many men and women want to improve the appearance of their hair. But solutions that may have worked at one time of the year may not work after the seasons have changed.

When cooler, crisper weather arrives, humid-ity levels wane and hair can appear flat and lifeless. This can exacerbate already exist-ing conditions of thinning hair. Thinning hair is a concern for men and women alike. As women age, their bodies produce less estro-gen, which can cause hair loss and thinning, while some men are genetically predisposed to thinning hair and even balding.

But thinning hair may be a byproduct of the weather. When the temperatures outside begin to dip, people tend to spend more time indoors with the heat turned on. Dry air can cause static electricity and flyaway hair. People who wear hats to protect their heads from chilly weather also may find their locks have flattened. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions to flat hair, each of which can improve fullness and body.

* Try a plumping product with keratin. Keratin is a strong, fibrous material found in human hair, skin and nails. Depending on the com-position of the amino acids in keratin, it can be produced as hard (animal hooves) or soft (skin). Much of the keratin people come in contact with is cells that are already dead,

and these cells are protecting the living cells within. Coating hair with a keratin hair treat-ment can create a thicker layer of keratin to protect and moistur-ize the hair and help improve fullness.

* Find the right volumiz-ing shampoo for your hair. Many volumizing shampoos work by thoroughly cleansing hair to remove any product residue or excess oil that can weigh down hair. In the process, some may actually dry out hair, so it is important to test out different brands to find one that cleans but does not strip hair. “BIG” shampoo from Lush Cosmetics, for example, uses natural coarse sea salt to exfoliate the scalp and hair, as well as a blend of natural oils and citrus to moisturize and shine the hair. Many of the popular drug store brands of shampoo will have a volumizing alternative, or you can consult with your hair stylist for a salon brand he or she recommends.

* Use a styling aid. For many people, washing and drying their hair is not enough to provide

volume and lift. Styling aids can add volume to your hair. Volumizing mousse will coat the hair strands and give the appearance of thick-ness and lift. Framesi Hair Treatment Volumizing Mousse Conditioner, for example, uses Medi-terranean Sericina silk protein to nourish and protect the hair, along with silicone and marine extracts to add volume. These products should be worked into the base of the hair where it meets the scalp for best effects. Pomades and certain hair waxes and gels can provide similar results and may stiffen hair to keep styles in place.

* Invest in hair rollers. Hair rollers may seem old fash-ioned, but they can cre-

ate timeless, full hair and curls. Velcro or other nonheated rollers, like those from Conair or Goody, can be gentle on hair. Depending

on the size of the roller, hair can be full with bounce or show off more defined curls. Vary roller sizes to create a more interesting, di-mensional style. A blast of hairspray while the rollers are in place will help set the style.

* Be gentle when styling. Frequent use of chemical styling products or heated ap-pliances can weaken or damage the hair, causing it to break or fall out. This can only add to thin, flat hair problems. Use heated styling appliances sparingly and be gentle on hair when brushing or washing and drying.

* Experiment with a new cut. Fine or limp hair may benefit from a shorter, more layered haircut to improve volume and bounce. A stylist can recommend options that will fit with your face and hair goals.

* Consider coloring your hair. Permanent color dyes may actually thicken your hair by expanding the cuticle layer in order to de-posit color into the shaft or disperse the exist-ing pigments. This can result in hair that feels thicker or moves differently after the coloring process. Be sure to follow the recommended time between coloring treatments or you may end up doing more harm than good.

Many products and techniques can make hair more full, especially during a season when flat hair seems to be the norm.
