The old school thinking was to work out in a sweat-filled gym for hours a day. No pain, no gain. Well, that still works if implemented properly, however for many people time and motivation is a factor, but fortunately you can do many things in your everyday daily routine that will get you in better health.

1.    Walking even just 10 Minutes a Day will Increase Your Fitness Level  Studies show that even short bouts of activity can increase your fitness level, especially if you're new at working out.  
     a) Park and Walk. Whenever you have an errand, park your car as far away as you can from the entrance and then walk to the store.  At the mall, park at the farthest end and walk the length of the mall. Use every opportunity to walk. It all adds up to better fitness.
b) Take the dog out for yes, another walk! Maybe even make time to play catch with him in the back yard or park, your heart will get going if you pretend to run away with his toy!

2.    Take the stairs. Use every opportunity to take the stairs as you can.  Well if you can only make it to the fourth floor and have to go to the eighth, walk from ground to to the fourth and
take the elevator from the fourth floor and don’t forget to walk down from the eighth because walking down is less strenuous than climbing up so you’ll last longer.  (People with knee problems can try walking up or down sideways and alternate sides each flight)

3.    Seated leg lifts. These are practiced while you’re sitting on a chair at the office or sofa at home watching TV.  Ideally, you’ll want to be seated upright..so get your back off the chair! First, tilt your pelvis backward…meaning tuck your tailbone forward bringing your belly button inward toward the spine.  Second, lift one leg up at a time, maintaining the pelvic tilt all the while, holding the leg up for 3 seconds, then switching legs.  Repeat for 10 lifts per leg for one SET.  Do 3 SETS.
