Throw in some extra physical activity
Published
It's day 9 of the Renew Challenge.
Every little bit helps because life-extending benefits of physical activity add up. One study found that short bursts of vigorous exercise are just as good as longer bouts of exercise.
We’re talking something small — how about taking a 15-minute walk outdoors before starting your day? Or taking a quick morning stretch? quick morning stretch? Or doing a set of 10 squats or calf raises during your lunch break? Accumulated activity can positively impact your health!
Here are some other ideas:
- Try using a standing desk
- Move every 90 minutes to help shift energy levels
- Take 5 minutes to go outside during lunch
- Do some squats, lunges, or wall push-ups during a conference call
