8 Ways to Sneak Exercise Into Your Daily Life

It’s been recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. That’s a little over 20 minutes a day.

Below are some tips to get in more activity each day to keep you moving:

• Do lunges while you vacuum.
  
• Leave work when it’s time for lunch every day. Go for a walk and take the stairs. You’ll feel refreshed and will have gotten more steps in for the day.
  
• Do some dips on the kitchen counter or a chair while you wait for the oven/microwave.
  
• Use a push-mower to cut your grass where you can. Do the yard work yourself instead of paying someone.
• Walk the dog. See if you can add more distance or time onto each outing. It’ll be good for both of you.
• Hand wash your cars instead of going through the automatic wash.
• Make your bed every morning. You’ll get some stretching in and it’ll be nice to come back to at night.
• Don’t sit on the sidelines at your kids’ games - stand up and move around and watch. You’ll get a better view and will burn more calories.
