• Leading a more active lifestyle is never a bad
  thing, with proven benefits to both your mental,
  and physical health. Even if you are not inclined
  towards participating in sports or going to the
  gym, there are many simple ways in which you can
  be more active and in turn, lower your chances of
  becoming ill. Here are 5 easy ways to become more
  active without having to make major changes to
  your lifestyle or habits, and once you begin
  moving a little more often, youll be amazed at
  how much better you feel

• 1.Walk more
• You dont need to walk for miles a day to
  increase the number of footsteps you take, you
  could simply try walking to the local shop or
  café instead of driving, or going for a walk in a
  park. If you have a pet dog, then walking them
  twice a day is the perfect way to get more
  active, or even walking to the water cooler in
  the office instead of rolling your chair over to
  it!

• 2.Ditch the elevator
• While it can be tempting to choose a ride in the
  elevator rather than walking up flights of
  stairs, in doing so youre missing out on a cheap
  and easy way to be more active and get your heart
  rate up. You will also be surprised at how much
  quicker you become at mounting the stairs, and
  you could even challenge yourself to get quicker
  each time you do it.
• 3.When you clean at home, put some extra effort
  in!
• This way of burning off calories is often
  overlooked, and as many of us clean our homes
  regularly, its actually an easy way of getting
  fitter while

5

• doing something that we already fit into our
  daily or weekly schedules. When dusting or
  scrubbing the cooker, do it vigorously and really
  put some elbow grease into it, and youll soon
  notice how your heartbeats quicken and you will
  probably even begin to sweat.
• 4.Park further away
• It can be tempting to park as close to your
  destination as is humanly possible, so that you
  dont have to walk far, but once again, in doing
  so, youre missing out on another simple means of
  being more active.

• 5.Work out in front of the TV
• Your favourite television programme is on, and
  the house is quiet, so why not watch it while
  incorporating a little exercise into your day?
  Even if youre sitting in the comfort of a chair,
  there are various arm and leg exercises that you
  can do, and a quick online search will reveal
  many armchair work outs. Or if you have an
  exercise bike, simply hop on and cycle away while
  engrossed in whats happening on the screen the
  minutes will hopefully speed by and before you
  even know it, youll have cycled a few kilometres
  before the ad breaks!

• If you would like to have a more active lifestyle
  and are keen to add some exercise into your daily
  routine, its advisable to visit your local GP
  first, to discuss any issues related to your
  current state of health.
