Take The Stairs Whether at the office, the mall
or even in your own building choosing the stairs
over the lift adds up to 500 steps to your day!
By improving your cardiovascular health in small
ways, you will see improvements in your stamina.
Next time youre visiting someone who lives on
the 5th floor, jog up the stairs rather than
using the lift! Do Something Every Day The key
to working out is actually getting started. Give
yourself the target of doing just 20 minutes of
activity every day, this could include walking
your dog, running on the treadmill, practicing
yoga or playing a sport. If possible, you could
even try biking to work! Simply 20 minutes of
cardio can really make all the difference.
Play A Sport The best way to get active is to
play a team sport. Not only does this build a
sense of community and discipline, you often
sweat it out for at least a couple of hours each
week. Finding a sport that works for you will
ensure you dont skip sessions. Options include
swimming, tennis, football, basketball, badminton
or netball. Find a group near where you live and
get involved!

Go Online If you dont have access to a gym or
workout class, dont worry there are still so
many ways for you to get fit! All you need is a
workout mat, a few dumb bells and Wi-Fi. YouTube
has tons of incredible workout videos from yoga
and Pilates to HIIT and kickboxing. They even
have tutorials to ensure you get your form right
so you can avoid injuring yourself.
The key to getting active is to find a little bit
of motivation and figuring out what kind of
activity works for you. Dont feel overwhelmed by
all the options, start small and slowly step it
up every few weeks or so.
