Small walk is useful, small talk isn't

Tips to incorporate exercise into your lifestyle

A healthy lifestyle is an active one. As well as planned exercise (e.g. 30 minutes three times a week) you should also incorporate activity into your day-to-day life. The following are some ideas to help you to incorporate physical activity into your lifestyle.

  • Take the stairs instead of lifts or elevators.
  • If you work in a large office, walk to talk to your colleagues, rather than picking up the phone.
  • If you use buses, get off a stop or two earlier and walk.
  • Don't worry about finding a car park next to the supermarket or shop entrance. By the time you have found a close park you could have walked from a further, empty and less stressful space!
  • For small amounts of shopping or other errands use a bicycle instead of the car, saving you money and the hassle of finding a park. If you live in a town, you will probably save time and if you live in the country you can enjoy the countryside.
  • If you have a cordless phone, walk and talk.
Best of walk!
