Emily Skye inspires millions of people to get in shape with her F.I.T. workouts and videos on Facebook. Yet, she knows how hard it can be to find the time to get moving! So, Skye stopped by TODAY to share three exercises that are easy to fit into your busiest days.

1. Calf raises

Skye does these while she's brushing her teeth, or while she's in the shower. It's a great way to strengthen your ankles and arches, while toning your lower legs at the same time.

How to do it: Simple lift your body up onto the balls of your feet and hold for a second or two. Repeat for 30 seconds.

2. Lunges

Lunges are easy to work into your daily walk. Skye practices this by incorporating walking lunges into her routine. She'll pick a point in the distance and tell herself that when she reaches it, she'll do ten walking lunges. Another suggestion: set your phone or time to go off every few minutes and do 20 lunges when you hear the alarm.

How to do it: Step forward with one leg and bend both knees. Your front leg should appear in a 90-degree bend. Do not let your knee move past the front of your foot. Repeat on the other side.

3. Russian twists

This is a great ab exercise to do at home if you're crunched for time — you can even do it while you're watching TV. You'll just need something with a bit of weight to hold in your hands. Try a water bottle or soup can.

How to do it: Sit on the ground and lower your upper body about halfway between sitting upright and laying on the ground. Lift your legs off of the ground and tighten your abdominal muscles. While holding the weighted object, move your hands and twist your body from left to right. Perform this exercise for 30 seconds, and repeat as many times as you can!
