How To Live An Active Lifestyle - Ways To Be More Active
In this video I discuss how to be more active by providing you with some ways to move your body more throughout the day.


How To Live An Active Lifestyle

1. Start a walking program.  Start out by committing yourself to walking for 10 to 15 minutes a day every day.  As this becomes easier for you to accomplish, up the time to 30 minutes a day, or 15 minutes twice a day.

2. Make the trip from a to b longer or more physical.  Anytime you park in a parking lot, park farther away, if possible, use the stairs, or, anytime you go shopping for anything, walk a lap around the store before you actually start your shopping.

3. Stand or walk when you on the phone.  Make a rule to yourself that phone time is activity time by always standing or pacing while you are on the phone.

4. Don’t hire someone to do housework, do it yourself.  This is a great way to get your body moving in different directions, and also moves your joints through different ranges of motion.

5. Work in the yard.  Mowing and trimming the grass are great full body movements.  Planting a garden, picking up leaves and trash, and trimming bushes and trees are other ways to get you moving.

6. Use the alarm on your phone as a movement alarm.  If you are sitting at a desk all day, set the alarm on your phone every half hour, when it rings, stand up and walk around for a couple of minutes.

7. Use Commercials on tv as an alarm.  Just like the alarm on your phone, when a commercial comes on, stand up and walk around for the break.

8. Join a league.  Bowling, golf, softball, volleyball leagues are always being formed.  Joining one of these leagues is a great way to increase your physical Movement and also increase your social engagement with people.

9. Go to a group class, yoga, zumba, step class.  Group classes are fun, move your body in various directions, range of motions, and also provide a great way to be more socially active.

10. Plan physical activity on weekends and vacations.  Weekends and vacations are for getting away from the everyday grind of life, but they don’t have to be spent sitting doing nothing.  Taking a hike or even going to an amusement park are great ways to spend time moving your body, and having fun at the same time.

If you sit down and really think about ways you can create more physical movement in your life, you should be able to come up with a pretty good list.  So, get out there and move more.
