These days it can be harder and harder to be physically active. From COVID shutting down gyms, to having to wear a mask when you do go, it can be very difficult to get a work out in if you do not have an at-home gym. And sometimes, you just don’t feel like a whole workout.
I wanted to share with you a few ways you can get in a few minutes of physical activity each day without the hassle of a whole workout.
- Take a hike.
In California, and elsewhere, there are so many beautiful mountains to walk through. Take an hour or so one day just to explore your area on foot.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Walking the stairs a few times a day can do wonders to get your heart pumpin’!
- Take a walk around your neighborhood, or even walk on the beach.
Walking around your neighborhood can be a fun and peaceful way to get some physical activity in. My favorite thing to do on walks is find beautiful flowers and take phone camera photos with them. It’s a great activity to make walks more fun!
Walking around the beach can be its own kind of peaceful, with the waves as your music you can do a quick powerwalk on the beach.
- Clean your house.
I know this isn’t a fun one, but scrubbing the counters and floors are an awesome way to get some blood flow throughout your body. And at the end of it, you get to have a clean house!
- Take an online dance class or just dance.
Dance can be such a great way to get some physical movement in your body. Sign up for an online class, or just turn some music up and dance like nobody’s watching!
You’ll burn a few calories and get a mood boost at the same time.
Being physically active can be a chore sometimes, but it doesn’t have to be. Use any of the tips above for hassle-free, blood pumpin’ activities. Your body will thank ya later 😉
