Whether it’s the holidays or a busy work-from-home season, staying active doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some simple ways to get moving without feeling like it’s a full workout.
1. Make Your Dog Your Workout Buddy
- Take your dog on brisk walks or play catch at the park.
- Fun + fitness = time flies while staying active!
2. Wear Your Workout Clothes to Work
- If you’re working from home, throw on your favorite activewear first thing in the morning.
- Being already dressed for exercise makes it easier to move outside or do a quick workout later in the day.
3. Take Your Workout Outside
- Move your mat, dumbbells, or resistance bands outside a few times a week.
- Fresh air and a change of scenery can make workouts feel less like a chore.
4. Housework Counts!
- Yard work, raking leaves, gardening, or cleaning can all burn calories.
- Bundle up in comfy activewear and multitask while staying fit.
5. Listen to Your Smartwatch
- Let your smartwatch remind you to get up and move every hour.
- Short walks or stretches throughout the day add up to more activity overall.
6. Ditch Your Desk Chair
- Sitting all day is more harmful than many realize.
- Try a standing desk or an exercise ball to keep your body engaged while working.
Pro Tip:
Motivation skyrockets when you feel good in your workout gear. Investing in comfortable, stylish leggings, vests, or tops can make getting active more fun — and easier to stick to your routine!
