Otherwise, just exercise at home like walking or jogging with your friends around your living area. It is just a matter of place. For those who are too busy like office workers, there are some short but useful exercises for them to do during their break or after work. Don't forget your eyes when you have to work long time with the computer. It is advisable to exercise at least three or four times a week to stay in shape.

Last but not least, spend time to relax each day. People get stressed because they do not relax enough. They have to worry many things in this modern world. No matter how busy you are, take time to keep your mind free and do the things you love. You will find fun in activities like painting, writing, fitness or just spending time with your family. If you love the gardening, you can spend one hour in the afternoon to take care of the vegetables you grow. Refresh your life by learning new things, getting new friends, travelling whenever possible. Try to keep a positive attitude towards life and you'll realize how happy you are.
