Do you struggle to fit exercise into your day?
If you do, then you need to rethink exercise. Don't think of it as something specific that needs to be done, but think outside the box and incorporate more general movement in your day.
The more we can get our body moving in different ways, the more strength, flexibility we will gain and the less pain associated with lack of movement we will have.
Some simple ways that we can fit more movement into a busy day include:
- get up 5 minutes earlier to do some stretching before your day begins. You can even do this in bed!
- park further away from your destination, so that you have a longer walk to get there
- do squats when you clean your teeth
- do worktop push ups while the kettle boils
- walk 500 steps, or do start jumps or high knees, for every hour you spend sat at our desk.
Can you manage to do at least one of these every day? Which one are you most likely to try? Tell me in the comments.
