Sneak Exercise Into Your Day

Stretch

It helps your blood flow through your body, increases your range of motion, and may help prevent an injury. And you can do it anywhere, even at your desk during the workday. But keep it gentle. Don’t push to the point of serious pain, and never “bounce” into a stretch.

1-Mile Rule

If you live close to town, think of all the places you drive within a mile of your home. In the time it takes to load up the car, drive, find — and possibly pay for — parking, you could probably have walked there. In heavy traffic, a walk even might get you there faster.

Tense Your Muscles

No time for the gym? No problem. You can do this almost anywhere and in very little time. A typical example: Tighten your stomach muscles for 3 to 10 seconds. Repeat 4 times. Your co-workers won’t even know you’re working out. These exercises may lower your blood pressure as well.

Get a Jogging Stroller

Don’t feel trapped in the house with the kid. Take her with you! A stroller can make your jog an adventure for everyone. So strap in the munchkin, bring some emergency supplies, and get out into the world.

Have Leash, Will Walk

Fido isn’t the only one who needs his daily walk, but the fact that he does can get you moving. Owning a dog makes you more likely to be physically active. The guilt of that unused gym membership is nothing compared to the look he gives you when he wants a walk. So grab a leash, and maybe a Frisbee, and save that gym membership money for doggie treats.

Walking Meetings

Need 30 minutes to catch up with a co-worker? Do it on foot and kill two birds with one stone. Not only will you get some exercise, but you may also do your job better. Read more
