Things You'll Need:
- A friend
- The Outdoors
- Sports Equip.
-
Step 1
Think about all the places you travel each day. You walk out to your car, drive to work, walk into your office, back out, drive to get lunch...etc. Then think about ways to change these necessary trips into extra opportunities for exercise!
-
Step 2
Instead of driving to work, walk or cycle all the way there, or if that's too far, try walking or cycling to and from public transit, or simply parking your car farther away so you get a brisk walk on your way. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, do leg-lifts under your desk, etc.
-
Step 3
Instead of going out for drinks after work, invite your pals or colleagues for a game of touch football, or ultimate Frisbee. During lunch, eat at your desk and take a 20 minute walk with a co-worker.
-
Step 4
Host a Health Week at your office. Encourage people to bring in healthy snacks like elaborate fruit salads, and have a prize for the best healthy dish.
-
Step 5
On weekends, instead of going to the movies, or watching tv, find out what hiking trails are near you and bring a date, or the dog, or your kids, or whomever! Hiking is a great way to get to know someone, since there's nothing to do but talk and enjoy the scenery.
-
Step 6
Instead of going to bars or clubs to meet new people, sign up for a yoga, dance or pillates class.
