If you had more time, you swear that you'd not only go jogging, you'd train for a race--maybe even a marathon. But you really, truly don't have any minutes to spare. Or so you think. A poll from Harris Interactive found that Americans have nearly twice as much downtime as we believe we do, and Women's Health magazine offers some strategies that can help even the most perpetually-booked among us to find it.

These tips include taking two days to keep track of exactly how you spend your time, and then looking for hidden chunks of misused minutes. For example, you probably never realized how much time you spend cruising Facebook, listening to covers of "Call Me Maybe" or deciding what to eat for lunch, but once you do, you can put those patches of time together to use for a training run...or at least a midday power walk. Find three more ways to squeeze in a workout over at Women'sHealth.com.
