CNN.com did a list of ways to fit more movement into your day. It’s got the classics, like taking the stairs and parking farther away from stores. But some of them are a little more creative.
Here are the top 5
1. Do some squats while heating up food in the microwave. Even if it’s for 30 seconds, it adds up . . . and you’ve already got a built-in timer.
2. Pick a favorite show and make yourself work out whenever you watch it. The downside is it might soon become your LEAST favorite show.
3. Do calf raises while brushing your teeth. Like the microwave one, it’s about putting that wasted time to good use.
4. Don’t sit when you’re on the phone. You might have to if it’s a work call and you’re on your computer. But if you’re just catching up with a friend, pace around your home, or go outside and get a walk in.
5. Carry your groceries to your car. That one makes sense if you can carry them all at once. No one’s making multiple trips though.
