Many people are unable to find a consistent time to go to the gym or get the physical activity they need. This is not an excuse to not get any physical activity as there various ways to be physically active as we have access to “Free Gyms” on a daily occurrence. Instead of using an escalator or an elevator and use the stairs (also known as a “Free Gym”). Next time you buy groceries park farther away and carry a couple of the bags (the walk is a “Free Gym” and the groceries are “Free Weights”). If your dog is barking at you to go to the bathroom do not just open the back door and let him out, take him for a walk as he is really asking you to be his gym partner. There are dozens of daily choices we can make every day to make our lives a little more active and help fill in the times when life gets in our way of our regular exercise.
