Easy Ways to Add More Movement to Your Day
Physical activity can be built into ordinary parts of the day rather than reserved only for formal workouts.
Take short walking breaks
A brief walk during a break can add movement to a largely sedentary day.
Use everyday opportunities
When practical, consider walking for nearby errands, taking stairs when appropriate, or doing light household activities.
Choose enjoyable activities
Dancing, gardening, cycling, swimming and recreational sports are examples of activities people may enjoy.
Increase gradually
If you are currently inactive, start at a comfortable level and build gradually. Anyone with medical concerns should seek professional guidance before making major changes to physical activity.
