The Costs of Being Unhealthy

Move at Work! Forget the elevator, use the stairs. Dont sit in your chair while on the phone, stand up and move around. Take your meeting while walking around, rather than sitting in a conference room. Deliver your messages personally rather than e-mailing them. Lean against your desk and do some push-ups.

Tips For Around the House Turn that room that doesnt get used anymore into your workout room. Exercise indoors if it gets too hot or cold. Take up low-impact exercises like yoga or pilates that require only small, inexpensive equipment like hand weights, rubber bands, exercise balls, and a comfortable mat.

Exercise with a Frend There are a lot of great exercises you can do with a friend:Take a walk around the block.Join a class for kickboxing, yoga or tai chi.Agree to meet up for weekly jogs around your neighborhood..No matter what the activity, having a friend with you will make it easier and more fun.

Make Chores Fun Again Don't hire someone else to do the chores around the house. Vacuuming, washing the car, mowing the lawn and gardening are just a few household chores that can raise your heart rate.
