If you’re fit, you can function – if not, you’ll find it difficult to get through the day. Try these ideas:
1. Use stairs, not lifts
It’s nearly always only a flight or two.
2. Do two things at once
While you’re brushing your teeth, do leg lifts or knee bends. If you have a cordless phone, stretch or walk around while you talk.
3. Play with your kids
Get out there and ride a bike or have a go on the swings. When you watch them play sport, walk up and down the sidelines.
4 .Walk wherever possible
Always put a little distance between yourself and your destination. Walk up the street to get milk. Park and then walk to the theatre, school, or office.
5. Try Eastern-style exercise
Graceful practices such as tai chi enhance physical and mental wellbeing, without you having to raise a sweat.
6. Snippets of excercise
Buy a stationary bike or mini-trampoline so you can grab small snatches of exercise time at home.
7. Dance while you dust
Housecleaning can be a great aerobic workout if you put on upbeat music while you work.
