Step it up
Walking when the weather's nice is a super-easy way to keep fit, says Diane Virginias, a certified nursing assistant from New York. If there are no sidewalks in your neighborhood, try these tips for slipping in more steps:
-
Trade your power mower for a push version.
-
Park your car at the back of the lot.
-
Sweep the drive or rake the leaves instead of using a leaf-blower.
-
Get off the bus a few stops earlier.
-
Hike the mall, being sure to hit all the levels.
-
Take the stairs every chance you get.
-
Sign up for charity walks.
-
Crank the music and get your heart rate up the next time you mop or vacuum.
It all adds up. If you walk twice a day for 10 minutes and try a few of these tips, you may find yourself with a low-impact, 30-minute workout easily tucked under your belt.
