Leading a more active lifestyle is never a bad thing, with proven benefits to both your mental, and physical health. Even if you are not inclined towards participating in sports or going to the gym, there are many simple ways in which you can be more active and in turn, lower your chances of becoming ill. Here are 5 easy ways to become more active without having to make major changes to your lifestyle or habits, and once you begin moving a little more often, you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel:
1.Walk more You don’t need to walk for miles a day to increase the number of footsteps you take, you could simply try walking to the local shop or café instead of driving, or going for a walk in a park. If you have a pet dog, then walking them twice a day is the perfect way to get more active, or even walking to the water cooler in the office instead of rolling your chair over to it!
2.Ditch the elevator While it can be tempting to choose a ride in the elevator rather than walking up flights of stairs, in doing so you’re missing out on a cheap and easy way to be more active and get your heart rate up. You will also be surprised at how much quicker you become at mounting the stairs, and you could even challenge yourself to get quicker each time you do it. 3.When you clean at home, put some extra effort in! This way of burning off calories is often overlooked, and as many of us clean our homes regularly, it’s actually an easy way of getting fitter while
doing something that we already fit into our daily or weekly schedules. When dusting or scrubbing the cooker, do it vigorously and really put some elbow grease into it, and you’ll soon notice how your heartbeats quicken and you will probably even begin to sweat. 4.Park further away It can be tempting to park as close to your destination as is humanly possible, so that you don’t have to walk far, but once again, in doing so, you’re missing out on another simple means of being more active.
5.Work out in front of the TV Your favourite television programme is on, and the house is quiet, so why not watch it while incorporating a little exercise into your day? Even if you’re sitting in the comfort of a chair, there are various arm and leg exercises that you can do, and a quick online search will reveal many armchair work outs. Or if you have an exercise bike, simply hop on and cycle away while engrossed in what’s happening on the screen; the minutes will hopefully speed by and before you even know it, you’ll have cycled a few kilometres before the ad breaks!
