- Bike or walk to work.
When a car is your main source of transportation, the hours of inactivity can add up. If you live somewhat close to your job, try biking or walking to work instead of driving.
-
Set some fitness goals.
Start by setting goals that are SMART – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound – so you can benchmark your progress against them.
- Build a weekly workout routine.
Planning your workouts ahead of time will help you stay on track and meet your fitness goals. It’s challenging to get used to a new routine, but as you start getting in shape, you’ll start feeling good.
- Stay inspired.
Staying inspired can be a real challenge, especially if you’re working out and don’t notice immediate results. One way you can stay motivated to be physically active is to make an inspiration board (or Pinterest board) of people who inspire you to stay active.
- Plan group fitness activities with friends.
Peer pressure can sometimes be a good thing, especially when it comes to fitness. The next time you’ve got plans with friends, suggest a group activity like dancing, bowling, or hiking.
- Take a stand.
Remember to alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day to keep your feet, legs, and back happy.
- Do those chores.
Cooking, house cleaning, and yard work are great ways to increase your physical activity and cross items on your to-do list off at the same time.
- Try a new hobby.
Get out of your comfort zone with a new hobby like yoga or salsa lessons. Taking the plunge to follow a new passion will connect you with a community of people who will inspire and challenge you in new ways. Plus, you might discover some muscles you never knew existed!
