SNEAK PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INTO YOUR DAYTIPS FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE
CHALLENGE YOUR HEART
Aerobic training is key to maintaining a healthy heart and lungs.
TIP # 1: DON’T BE A COUCH POTATO
During commercial breaks, get off the couch and get moving! Walk around the house or do a
few exercises while you watch TV.
Why?
Because it’s better than watching the same commercials over and over
again!
TIP # 2: DO THE BUGGY BOY A FAVOUR
Return the shopping cart back to the front of the store instead of
leaving it in the parking lot.
Why?
Because it only takes an extra minute or two.
TIP # 3: DO GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Order your food inside the fast food restaurant instead of going
through the drive-through.
Why?
Because you get to skip the long line, especially on your morning coffee
run.
CHALLENGE YOUR MUSCLES
Resistance training is key to maintaining building strong and healthy muscles.
TIP # 4: SHAKE IT OFF
Shake off your wet clothes before putting them into the dryer.
Why?
It’s a great way to challenge your upper body muscles and it helps your
clothes dry faster.
TIP # 5: BRING CHIVALRY BACK
Push the door open with your hands. Yes your hands!
Use the automatic door opener when necessary and hold the
door open for someone to work your muscular endurance.
TIP # 6: LEAVE THE CART BEHIND
If you have a light shopping load, carry it to the car instead using
the cart.
Why?
Because it saves your some time.
