1) Park your car further away from where you normally do so you have to get an extra block in or more of walking (I drove in today and found a lot 2 blocks away, so I parked there instead of in our building and got a couple blocks of walk time in - hey, every bit counts, as Kathy said). THIS INCLUDES SUPER MARKETS and SHOPPING MALLS!
2) Do a couple of flights of stairs in your home. I think all of us have at least one flight of stairs to get to the main door or inside the house or whatever.... so, take a few minutes to walk up and down the stairs (I haven't done that one in a long time).
3) Do some exercises while watching tv (situps, pushups (if you can do one, I can't), jumping jacks, riding the stationary bike, etc.)
4) Bust out the dusty copies of Tai Bo, Yoga, Pilates,.... etc. and take a few minutes to try to do some of the exercises on the dvd.
5) Take some time to actively play with your kids or your pets. That counts!!!!
Just some little steps that are easy to do in our every day lives without hitting a gym or paying for a membership, by simply using our surroundings to enhance our longevity and vitality!!!
