Take a tour of your house. Visit every room in your house. See what else needs to be cleaned and set properly.

Make sure that as you perform these activities you get ample opportunity to bend from your waist. For example, bending down to pick up something or to keep something can provide the necessary exercise for your waist.

Feeling thirsty? Instead of calling out for water, why not walk to the water area and have your glass of water?
After lunch why not take a short walk around your office or outside your office.
As you walk, stretch your legs, swing your arms, roll your shoulders. Make sure that all your body parts get the required exercise.
If you have been sitting at your place for too long, take a break and go for a short walk in and around your office just like that. You can even go for a coffee break.
Don’t worry what people will say. If they ask you, share with them what and why you are doing. Maybe you will even inspire them.
If you have a cabin for yourself, you can practice some stretching exercise or you can get started with Yoga Asanas.

When you go shopping at a Mall before you buy anything, make sure you go window shopping each and every floor. If it is quite a decent Mall then you would have walked for no less than two hours.
Going to buy grocery from your neighborhood supermarket? Don’t take your vehicle. Take a walk to the supermarket and back.

If you travel by public transport, get down one stop before and walk the distance.
If you love adventure, go on a trekking expedition with a group.
Participate in some cultural activities in your society or at work.
Don’t have anything to do? Just get ready and go for a walk in the evening. You can choose a public park to walk or just explore the lanes and by-lanes near your place. All you need is a good pair of running shoes.
Exercise keeps the body parts in working condition. Not being able to exercise must not be an excuse for feeling lethargic of falling ill over and over again.
In this blog, we have discussed a variety of ways that we can incorporate in our lives to give our body the necessary exercise on a daily basis.
You have the freedom to try out a number of different activities and then finally choose that will suit you best.
Do not choose something that is very easy and does not give your body the opportunity to stretch.
If we look at it from a broader perspective of life, we grow and become a better person when we stretch ourselves to achieve bigger goals. Same is with exercise. If the body gets ample opportunity to stretch it will become an asset for you and will serve you for a long time.
As we are all aware, our body is the place where we live. It is our duty to keep our body healthy, active and fit. Nobody will do it for us.
I would like to restate that the activities should take the form of a habit. Habits are something that we do automatically. Once the activities become a habit we will not feel the burden and things will come more naturally to us.
