I’ve started to feel guilty about the lack of exercise I’ve been doing….until I read this!
And it DEFINITELY helps if you’re running late in the mornings!….shoot, I just realized I could be helping you stay lazy. But this ALSO helps give yourself a break if you actually are doing these 6 activities. I’m sure there are other activities you could add to your own personal list too. Experts say that as long as you’re getting your heart rate up, it counts as EXERCISE!
1. The “I’m late” sprint. Running to catch a train or bus can get your heart rate going enough to count as light-to-moderate exercise.
2. Running errands. Walking through the aisles of a store is just as good as walking outside, especially if you’re in a rush or walk briskly.
3. Cleaning. It involves a lot of bending, lifting, and other physical activities.
4. Yard and lawn care. Mowing the lawn can be a workout. So can gardening.
5. Walking your dog. Just another way of getting your steps in.
6. Playing with your kids. Doing ANYTHING with a kid takes energy.
