With your busy schedule, finding time for a full workout may seem impossible. But fear not! Adding more movement into your routine is possible. Here are 7 ways to boost your activity level without adding stress to your schedule:

  1. 10-Minute Workout: Stuck at home? Try a 10 minute workout to boost your heart rate & brain power.
  2. Walk & Talk: Break free from your chair during work calls. As possible, make it a habit to talk & walk.
  3. Tune into Fitness: Multi-task by walking or jogging in place, doing yoga, or lifting weights while catching up on your favorite TV shows.
  4. Family Walks: Take a walk with your kid or spouse. Try exploring your neighborhood by going down different streets.
  5. Ditch the Car: Skip the parking stress & add more active time by parking a bit farther away or even just walking to your destination.
  6. Take the Stairs: Opt for taking the stairs; down 2, up 1. Remember, escalators can be climbed too!
  7. Walk Your Dog: Grab the leash & take your furry friend for a stroll. Both you & your pooch will appreciate the exercise.

The key is to spread more activity throughout the week. Whether it's a short walk, a quick workout, or choosing stairs over the elevator; every step counts. So, look for opportunities to move more, reduce stress & enhance your overall well-being.
