8 sneaky ways to be more active:
1 - Take the stairs. How many opportunities can you find in a day?
2 - Park further away. How many extra steps can you squeeze in?
3 - When walking, pick up the pace from leisurely to brisk - walk with a purpose!
4 - Use a basket instead of a shopping cart. Sneak in a little weight training. Every time you add something to your basket, switch hands to keep things balanced!
5 - Walk down every aisle of the grocery store. (Our whatever store you are shopping). Don't need anything from that aisle? Walk down it briskly!
6 - Plan family outings and vacations that include physical activity. Are you interested in hiking, backpacking, swimming, skiing?
7 - At the office, replace your chair with an exercise ball. (Many fitness professionals recommend limiting stability ball sessions to 2 hours at a time to avoid core muscle fatigue and resulting poor posture.)

8 - Try some squats, push ups, or other strengthening moves during commercial breaks. If you're on a Netflix marathon, do it between episodes!
BONUS: Stretch, pace, or dance while waiting for the microwave! (You took your own lunch rather than eating out, right?)
