4 Easy Ways to Get Your Exercise Without Exercising 

Have you ever wondered why exercise is so hard to maintain? In the beginning, we go out there with our new gym memberships and good intentions, but after a few weeks, our resolve begins to dwindle. Why is that? There are many reasons we don’t stick to our exercise goals, but mainly it’s because exercise can feel more like a chore at times and we equate it with hard work – and there are so many other things we would prefer to be doing, right? The trick is however, to blend it into your everyday routine.

  1. Journeys

If you have to make a special effort to go to the gym several times a week, chances are you’ll skip it. However, there are some things that you can’t avoid, such as your journey to work or your journey to the shops, etc. Most people drive or take public transport to work, however, think how many miles you’d cover in a week if you walked or cycled, and if this is out of the question due to distance, combine the journey. Park out of town and walk the rest of the way, or take the train part way and cycle the rest. Opt for a hybrid bicycle that would allow you to cycle in the town and off road, so check out reviews for hybrid bikes in 2017 to find the best option to suit your needs. You can then use it for work and when you’re out with the kids at the weekend.

  1. At The Office

There have been many reports in the news over the last few years about the dangers of office jobs. Sitting for long periods of time is detrimental to our health, however, there are ways you can turn this around and optimize your movement during the day. Standing and sitting desks are one example. You can adjust the height to accommodate a standing or sitting position, helping you to burn more calories, decrease your risk of heart disease, and reduce back pain.

Even getting up and walking around once an hour is beneficial, even if it’s just to grab a glass of water. Set an alarm to remind you to get up, stretch, and walk. Then to take it to the next level, invest in a desk cycle. These handy machines fit under the desk and allow you to pedal as you work. If you have to be stuck in front of a desk all day, you may as well make it work for you.

  1. Watching TV

The next time you feel guilty about binge watching your favourite series on Netflix, think about how you could combine it with some exercise. You don’t need any fancy equipment, and you don’t have to go out of your way to do it. You can practice from the comfort of your living room!

  1. Gardening

Gardening is a great way to get some fresh air, move around, and get the blood pumping. It has to be done anyway, so why not make the most of it and maximize your efforts.

Exercise doesn’t have to include the gym, and it doesn’t have to be a separate event. With a little thought and planning, you can build it into your everyday life. And the good thing about that is that you won’t even notice you’re doing it.
