Working out in water, such as swimming, water aerobics or water boxing has multiple benefits. Water gives you resistance on all sides of your body without the stress and impact of working out on land.

According to Dr. Epstein with Harvard Medical School, sleep is just as important to health as diet and exercise.  It is important to not get less sleep to fit in exercise.  Both are essential.

To make exercise more enjoyable, focus on all the benefits such as increased energy, weight loss, stress reduction and increased metabolism.

If you are trying to lose weight, beware of mindless eating.  Every extra bit of food adds calories. Eating just 100 extra calories a day can lead to a 10 pound weight gain over the course of a year.
