FIND REASONS
TO BE ACTIVE
Every little bit of movement counts, so move, if even a little.
If you're too busy for a regular workout, just look for opportunities to be in motion.
Research shows that a significant number of health benefits come from all those extra steps you take during a day.
'Moving' ideas include:
General walking or dog walking every day.
Take the stairs instead of the lift.
At home, don't shout up the stairs - go on up!
Get up and talk with co-workers, rather than always sending e-mails.
Try a social or business meeting outside and make it a walking meeting.
Keep walking or training shoes close to hand. With comfortable shoes your feet can be your main mode of transportation.
Walk briskly whenever you can.
Look for a game, activity or a sport that you may really enjoy. Take lessons or instruction to help maximise your enjoyment.
