A quick posts today…. we’ve been asked a few time lately how to fit exercise into your day. We know it can be hard when you have busy, full on lives, but here are a few ways to sneak exercise in:
- Do your food shop at the supermarket rather than on line, and park in the farthest parking space so you get in a few more steps. “Every little helps!”
- Work it out at work. If you work in an office building with stairs and a lift, take the stairs – every time! Even in the department store – every time you see an elevator to take those stairs instead.
- Get the bus home? Get of a stop or two earlier and walk the rest of the way home.
- Got a dog? Take him / her for a walk once or twice a week more than usual… She / he’ll appreciate you much more for it and you’ll find you appreciate the fresh air and the extra exercise too.
- Use your lunch break to get active. Rather than sitting at your desk for the full hour, get up and go for a brisk walk for 10/15 mins. you’ll find you are much more productive in the afternoon too.
- Get active with the kids. Swimming / trampolining / bike riding / scooting / playing football in the park…. the list is endless. Make it fun and spend some quality time together too.
- Can’t bear to miss Corrie or the latest detective episode? invest in a weighted hula-hoop and hula-hoop-it while watching your favourite TV programme – two birds … one stone… done!
There is no excuse… let’s get active and healthy.
