- Even if you live in a building with an elevator, always take the stairs. Those trips to the grocery store or getting the garbage out can really add a little workout to your day.
- Make more trips whenever possible. If you are going to have to go and get a newspaper and do laundry, break it up into two separate tasks instead of combining them. You’ll get more exercise.
- Walk to do errands whenever possible.
- Use a bicycle to go on longer errands or to go to work.
- Make a vigorous apartment cleaning part of your weekly schedule. Put on some music and really get to it!
- Rearrange furniture periodically. It will help keep the place looking fresh, and provide you with a little extra exercise.
- If you have a dog, walk it often. You’ll both be happier and more fit.
