Having a healthy lifestyle means having an active one.   You should incorporate activity into your day-to-day life along with planned exercise (e.g. 30 minutes three times a week) It is surprisingly easy to do this - the following are some ideas to help you to incorporate physical activity into your lifestyle.

• Take the stairs instead of lifts or elevators.
• If you work in a large office, walk to talk to your colleagues, rather than picking up the phone.
• If you use buses, get off a stop or two earlier and walk.
• Don't worry about finding a car park next to the supermarket or shop entrance. Find one furthest away from the entrance and walk. Think of it this way -  by the time you have found a space that is close by to park you could have walked from a further, empty and less stressful space!
• For small amounts of shopping or other errands use a bicycle instead of the car, saving you money and the hassle of finding a park. If you live in a town, you will probably save time and if you live in the country you can enjoy the countryside.
• If you have a cordless phone, walk and talk.
• If you are watching TV get on a Bosu (balance trainer) and do some exercises whilst viewing!!
