  • Use your lunch hour

    Even if you can’t get to the gym, go for a brisk work to get your lunch and walk back again. If you can bring a change of clothes, consider a quick jog or run.


  • Commute by bicycle or foot

    Even if it’s not possible every day because of the distance, cycling or walking to work even a couple of times a week can be great for your overall fitness. If the distance really makes it impossible, get off the train or bus a couple of stops before work and walk the remainder of the way.


  • Get your house in order

    All of us have to tidy our house at some point. Here’s a previous post that will give you some tips on how to exercise while doing that housework.

  • Spend time with your children

    If you’re a parent, grandparent, or older sibling, running around the garden, playing physical games, or having a kick about in the park with the kids can really burn the calories.


  • Watch TV

    The average Brit watches 3.8 hours of television per day. That’s a lot of TV time where we could be moving! Try watching TV while marching or jogging on the spot. During the commercial break, do come push-ups or sit-ups. You’ll soon be getting a lot more exercise than usual.


    • So why not try one of these tomorrow? It’s the first step to getting fit and healthy.


    Be happy,


    Mr. M.
