Ways to Integrate More Physical Activity Into Your Daily Life
Incorporating physical activity into daily routines is a great way to enhance fitness and overall health as there are a wide variety of ways to do that. Here are some suggestions that can be integrated seamlessly into your daily life:
- **Active Commuting**: Walk or bike to work or the store if it's safe and practical. If they use public transportation, getting off a stop early and walking the rest of the way can also be beneficial.
- **Deskercise**: For those with desk jobs, we suggest integrating exercises at your desks, such as seated leg lifts, desk push-ups, or chair squats during breaks.
- **Walking Meetings**: Instead of sitting in a conference room, opt-out for a walking meetings. This can be a great way to get steps in while still being productive at work.
- **Shopping Workouts**: Do calf raises while waiting in line, park further away to increase walking distance, or choose a basket instead of a cart when only picking up a few items to increase arm strength.
- **Household Chores**: Household chores are a great way to get moving. Activities like vacuuming, mowing the lawn, gardening, or even cleaning can all contribute to daily exercise goals.
- **Social Activities**: Replace sedentary social gatherings with more active ones. For example, a catch-up with friends could be a hike, a game of tennis, or a group dance class.
- **TV Time Workouts**: Perform exercises like planks, squats, or sit-ups during commercial breaks or between episodes when binge-watching series.
- **Family Involvement**: Set up family activities that are active, such as bike rides, walks after dinner, or playing active games together.
- **Stretching Breaks**: Take regular breaks to stretch, to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tension, especially for those who spend a lot of time sitting.
