If you're not convinced about the need to develop an exercise program for your life, you can at least try following some of these tips in your everyday routine. Take advantage of any opportunity for exercise. Try some today.
- Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator at
school or the mall. Just start with one flight. Soon, you'll be ready for
two.
- Park your car at the far end of the parking lot. The
short walk to and from the store or school helps your heart.
- If you ride a bus or subway, get off a stop before your
destination. Walk the rest of the way.
- If you can, spend a few minutes of your lunch break
taking a stroll around the campus grounds. It should help you stay awake
after lunch.
- Think of housework as an extra chance to exercise.
Vacuuming briskly can be a real workout.
- Mowing the lawn, pulling weeds, and raking leaves are
chores that can be done yourself as a chance to exercise.
- If you have a dog, think of the dog as an exercise
machine with fur. A brisk walk with the dog is good for both of your
hearts. Make it a part of your daily routine.
- If you have a family, schedule an after-dinner walk.
Make it quality time for you and a love one.
