Incidentally Active
Incidentally Active
Kicking back on the couch watching the box,.. ad break. You reach for the remote to channel flick, stumble across the newspaper, magazines, reading glasses, last months bills… where’s the remote? As you finally resign to getting off the couch to look it tumbles to the ground….. twas right there on your lap all along.
Ever thought of exercise like your remote? Always right there within your reach. Everyday there are so many opportunities to be active;
ü We could walk or ride some (or all) of the way to work
ü Take the kids to the park
ü Use the stairs in the office or apartment
ü Park the car further from our destination
ü Catch up with a friend and go for a walk instead of coffee
ü Walk up the escalator
ü Hang the washing out instead of using the dryer
ü Dare I say… Hide the remote control
Did you know 30 minutes of incidental activity throughout the day will help you manage:
ü Cholesterol
ü Blood pressure
ü Stress
ü Body weight
ü Insulin sensitivity(decreasing your risk of diabetes)
ü Energy levels (increased energy and productivity)
Let your imagination go wild and take the risk to be more active
