Be Active in your everyday life!! Get up and MOVE!! Any exercise is better than no exercise... Do not under estimate the importance of incidental activity -- It is so important in weight loss. Incidental activity is any sort of activity which is built up over the course of your day. This can be heaps easier to do than a single longer session.
- Instead of taking the lift - use the stairs.
- Go for a 10min walk on your lunch break
- Get up off the couch to change the TV instead of using the remote (I KNOW -- hard stuff people!!)
- Park your car further away from where you need to go or get off the bus a stop early.
- Do some gardening/housework
- Be active WHILE you watch the TV... or at least walk around during the ad breaks!!
- Do a lap of the shops BEFORE you can buy anything!!
National Physical Activity Guideline.
