Fit Fitness In Your Life!

There are many ways you can get a mini workout as you go about your busy day. Here are some simple and effective ideas...

• Take the stairs instead of the lift, especially after lunch or when meeting colleagues on another floor for discussions.
  
  
• Run (not walk) the dog.
  
  
• Hit the gym during lunchtime for a 10-minute power run on the treadmill.
  
  
• Do more housework, so you stretch, bend and squat more.
  
  
• Indulge in some "desk exercise", spending a few minutes in your office chair twisting your upper body to each side, strectching to touch the ground with your fingertips and raising your arms before bringing them behind your head for an upper back stretch.
  
  
• Work your muscles while in the shower, by doing stretches, twists, neck rolls and squats.
  
  
• Jump rope during TV commercials.
  
  
• Squeeze in some brisk walking in the evenings, before heading out to dinner.
  
  
• Kick start weekend home projects like house painting, rearranging the furniture or clearing out the store room.
