Unofficial exercise works into daily life A brisk, half-hour walk is good, as are swimming or going to an exercise class. If you really can't find time for official exercise, however, try unofficial exercise. It can be done every day. Treat yard work and housework as exercise. Vacuuming, sweeping, and raking involve arm and leg muscles and burn 245 to 280 calories an hour. Take extra steps. Park farther away from work. At the mall, walk through more stores. At the supermarket, check out the entire market before filling your cart. Walk to a restaurant for lunch. Make a half hour of TV an active time. Use a stationary bike, jog lightly in place, or do floor exercises. Seated, do some leg lifts with toes pointed forward and others with toes pointed up. Dig in the dirt. Gardening and yard work strengthen knees, arms, and hands. Mowing, pulling weeds, and raking improve back, arm, and leg muscles. They burn 350 calories an hour and get you out in fresh air. Adjust to your limitations as needed and keep going. This story was posted on 2024-02-25 22:28:34
