Exercise doesn’t need to be complicated! While there is a benefit to intense workouts, it’s not always doable when you factor in the rest of your life. But, there are some quick ways to incorporate more movement in your day too.

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You can squeeze a lot of good out of just a small amount of effort.

Here are some ways to add more movement into your day, maybe without even breaking a sweat!

  1. 30 second dance parties throughout your day. Gets you moving, and it’s fun!
  2. Chair yoga or stretches. You can find some ideas here.
  3. Park further away from your destination or get off at one public transport stop earlier.
  4. Take the stairs whenever you can. Walk up escalators.
  5. If you work from home, invest in a walking pad.
  6. Leave the car at home and take a walk for any errand less than one mile away.
  7. Set a timer to walk around the room at least once an hour.
