For all those that have to do something everyday. Why not throw in a playground day, just like kids at recess. This site (http://www.goanimal.com/exercises/exercises.html) has some exercises that might fit in.
Remember to go outside and play. You might carry a ball, frisbee, kite, airplane, bb gun, etc. Go walking in the woods, swing from a vine or tree limb. The person who keeps site had these ideas incorporating exercise into everyday functions:
Honor your evolutionary heritage. Train yourself for the fundamentals of walking, running, lifting and squatting. Build a better biped!
Emphasize function before cosmetics. If you train for functional movement you will eventually improve your performance and your appearance.
Keep a clear sense of oscillation to your efforts. Train hard, then rest deeply.
Think prehabilitation: it's easier to prevent an injury than it is to heal one.
Emphasize movement, not muscles. Performance and injury resistance depend primarily on the quality of your movement.
Look for rotational, spiral, figure 8, diagonal and other multi-plane movements.
Make every exercise an abdominal exercise. Work for core body strength.
Honor the play ethic: play is the foundation for quality movement.
Be an opportunist: be alert for movement possibilites.
Be a good animal: exercise outdoors whenever possible and make yourself vulnerable to the elements.
Seek a balanced set of capabilities. Don't specialize too narrowly.
Look for humor at every opportunity.
