17 Simple Ways To Increase Your Energy Levels And Become More Active

You don't have to go to a gym to be physically active or fit. Here are a couple ideas to help you stay active, be fit, and have fun.

At Home?

  1. Stretch while you watch T.V or do some quick exercise during the commercials
  2. Keep those dust bunnies away by dusting, vacuuming and washing your windows regularly.
  3. Do some outdoor work such as weeding, mowing the lawn, or raking the leaves.
  4. Create your own vegetable garden, the whole family can help out (building and eating)
  5. Time yourself to see how long it would take you to wash your car. See if you can break your record for the next time

At Work?

  1. Take short breaks to stretch when you need them (every 20 minutes)
  2. At lunch, go for a quick walk - alone or with some friends.
  3. You've heard this one a million times, but it works: Use the stairs
  4. Make use of the bicycle rack. If they don't have one, ask to get one installed

At Play?

  1. Go for a mini hike or picnic.
  2. Play the sports you loved as a kid! You'll have a blast!
  3. Enjoy the outdoors: walk, run, swim, skate, rollerblade, etc.
  4. Let your body free and dance! Do what you love, salsa, hip hop, ballet, whatever! You name it just DO IT!

En Route?

  1. Park your car at the back of the lot instead of close to the door. There's always parking in the back
  2. Walk every chance you get. From the convenience store, mailbox, or park let your feet do the walkin! so you and your friends can do the talkin!.
  3. Ride your bike or roller blade to work or school
  4. Take public transportation to work, and errands.
