Too cash-strapped for fitness? You don't need to be rich to be fit. You just need to be ready to look for opportunities in your day-to-day life.

I asked a group of marketing, PR and sales executives what real-world fitness tips they incorporated in their daily activities.  Check them out for ideas on how to fit fitness into your day.  Then add a comment that tells others how you fit fitness into your day.

"This will be my fourth year walking the 1/2 Marathon portion of the Country Music Marathon. I started in honor of a friend who challenged her friends to do it while she was in hospice with ovarian cancer. I have a formalized training program developed by a trainer that we worked with the first couple of years...[but on a day-to-day basis] I keep walking shoes in the office and walk at lunch when I can. I park on the fourth floor of the parking deck and walk down. I walk to meetings when I can. And go to the mall after work to walk on bad weather days."  Aileen R. Katcher, Katcher Vaughn & Bailey Public Relations
 

Busy triathlete here. High-quality workouts, each with a specific purpose. High quality food, eating 5 small meals a day with emphasis on breakfast and lunch. High quality mental and physical relaxation - sleep, e.g. Then add the little details: always taking the stairs, at-the-desk stretches, 5-minute walking breaks."  Steve Davis, Health Care Strategist
 

"The only time I have available for exercise is early mornings - I go to a club close to home and play racquetball three times a week. There's a core group of us that play at 6am so we can spend the evenings with our families."  Steve Woodburn, Staples Promotional Products
 

I put out my clothes and gear the night before and hit the gym first thing in the morning. Twice a week appointments with a trainer keeps the routine fresh and interesting so mind and body are challenged.   Kathleen Glass, KAG Consulting
