]]> Oftentimes, if we don’t pay close attention to how we spend our days, we can end up spending prolonged periods of time lying on the couch and remaining idle. Unfortunately, this can greatly deteriorate your physical health. Here are the main health reasons you need to keep moving throughout the day.

Your Mood is Affected

The less physical activity you do, the more bored and frustrated you might become. This issue was particularly prominent during the pandemic. Studies have shown that by lazing around doing nothing, your anxiety can actually peak. What’s more, by having too much screen time before bed, your sleep patterns can also be disrupted.

Cancer Can Creep In

According to research, sedentary behavior can increase your chance of contracting several types of cancer. In fact, it is estimated that 30% to 40% of all cancers can actually be avoided by means of positive lifestyle changes. This is largely because higher body fat percentages and chronic inflammation can facilitate the spread of cancer.

Backache

Slouching in front of your computer in the office for hours on end every day can put increasing pressure on the discs in your lower back. Naturally, this can amplify your backache. If you do work in an office job at a computer, make sure to take a break every so often and walk around and stretch. This can greatly improve your mobility and alleviate pain.

]]> It was David Henry Thoreau who said “an early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day”. And we are here to agree with him! Start each morning with a power walk and you will feel the benefits all day long. Here’s why.

Boost Your Mood

Getting outside first thing in the morning can do wonders for your mental well-being. Being out in nature, breathing fresh air, and getting to watch the rest of the world wake up is always a happy way to start the day. Plus, you can listen to your favorite mood-boosting podcast or playlist.

Improve Your Fitness

Power walking is great for improving stamina, flexibility, and strengthening your muscles. It can also help with healthy weight loss goals and is a super satisfying way to get your exercise for the day done before 9 am! Be sure to walk briskly for at least 30 minutes 5 days a week.

Feel Energized

Studies show that people who take a morning walk feel more energized and have more mental clarity and focus during their working day. So put down your phone and coffee, pop your trainers on, and head out the door instead!

Improve Your Posture

Sitting all day at a desk can be very harmful to our posture and can often lead to back, neck, and shoulder pain. Walking each morning is fantastic for your bone and muscle health and helps to reduce aches and pains. Doing some stretching after your walk will also help avoid that bad back.

]]> We all have at least one friend or relative who is not a fitness fan and hates working out. In case you want to surprise that person and help them stay active in the future, here are some great gift ideas that even people who hate exercising will love.

Hula Hoop

The hula hoop is one of those things that takes us back to our childhood, and that’s why most adults love it. Hula hooping is so much fun, and it can help adults burn some calories and stay in shape.

Mini Trampoline

Mini trampolines or rebounders have become so popular lately because they’re both fun and super effective. Rebounding is an awesome cardio workout that burns major calories and it’s perfect for people who don’t enjoy traditional workouts.

Skipping Rope

Just like the hula hoop, skipping rope is a fun activity that most people think is reserved for kids. But there are so many great skipping rope workouts that are effective and most adults would enjoy them.

Yoga Mat

A piece of workout equipment that every person needs, like a nice yoga mat, may inspire your inactive friend to start exercising.

]]> We all know that regular exercise has plenty of benefits for our physical and mental health. However, if you’re not working out on a daily basis, it can be hard to know whether you’re moving enough or not. These are some of the signs you should be moving more in the future.

You’re Tired

Sitting at a desk all day can drain your energy and make you feel sluggish or fatigued. A short walk or any other physical activity can solve this problem and boost your mood and energy very fast.

Back Pain

People who work desk jobs and sit for long periods of time can experience severe lower back pain. Lack of physical activity can be one of the reasons why you’re experiencing back pain and in this case, regular workouts and stretching can solve the problem.

Anxiety

Low physical activity and sedentary lifestyle are also associated with anxiety or depression. Staying active throughout the day is the best way to boost those endorphins and get rid of stress.

Lack of Sleep

If you have trouble falling asleep at night that probably means you’re not moving enough throughout the day. Engaging in regular physical activity, like going on a long walk in the evening or doing yoga, can help you fall asleep and improve your sleep quality.

Dance

We don’t know a single person who hates dancing! Even if you’re too shy to do it in front of the others, nothing prevents you from blasting some music and making a dance party at home. You can burn a lot of calories while having fun.

Gardening

Taking care of your garden counts as an activity! Chances are there’ll be a lot of squatting, bending, digging, and other movements, so 30 minutes per day is enough to consider your workout done. Plus, you’ll have the most beautiful garden in the neighborhood!

Choices ~ I’m thinking of the choices I make on the daily of what to do and what to let go. Different seasons bring different choices. During summer we may be a little er maybe a lot unkept because I’m choosing other things, like… the garden, swimming, ice cream, canning, picking berries and making jam, fishing, camp fires with s’mores, catching fireflies and porch sitting. All of this of course on top of the things that have to be done like feeding my family, reading, and tending to relationships and of course squabbles and occasionally the all out fight, and let’s not forget a marriage! ? So forgive the messes. The untidy porch. The piles of laundry, all the boxes and jars, and screens of drying things, dirty floors, and unmade beds and definitely the untamed yard!

]]> We rush through our days, always too busy to take some time for ourselves. Unfortunately, this can leave negative consequences on our health and it’s important to stay as active as possible, even with so many things to do every day. Here’s what you can do to keep your heart healthy.

Use the Stairs

Whenever you can, use the stairs instead of an elevator. Going up and down a few floors will make your heart pump faster and that’s always good, especially if you aren’t too active on a daily basis.

Walk

Give yourself half an hour more to run errands and skip the car or transport. This, of course, depends on where you live, but try to add at least half an hour of walking every day if possible.

Get a Dog

Many people find it easier to be active when they make a commitment to someone else, and that someone can easily be a dog who requires walking a few times per day. This is a great option if you work from home and spend most of your day inside.

]]> A workout isn’t just something you do at the gym on specific days of the week. There are plenty of fun activities that help you burn just as many calories as a serious workout, and during the fall, there are several seasonal activities that we particularly love.

Road Biking

Nothing beats a bike ride through beautiful fall scenery. If you live in a city, try going to a rural area and enjoying the fall colors. A park will also do if you don’t have other options.

Apple Picking

If you can get to an orchard, apple picking is an amazing way to spend a fall day. You can eat fresh apples right off the tree and take some home to make delicious treats like apple pies and cakes!

Raking Leaves

While it may not be the most fun activity on our list, it will surely help you burn some extra calories! Any yard work counts, actually, so if there are no leaves to rake, you can trim the bushes, plant some fall flowers, or do anything else that will make your yard look beautiful.

]]> Even if you’re hitting the gym on a regular basis and trying to keep your diet healthy, you might still fall into a trap of becoming a sedentary athlete. Long periods of inactivity somehow manage to sneak their way into our daily life, but here are three useful trips how to avoid them.

Active Commute

If you can avoid driving or taking a bus to work, do your best to do so. We know it can be exhausting especially early in the morning, but biking, parking further away or walking to the next bus stop is a good habit we should all cultivate.

Active Social Time

The best way to stay active is doing it with other people who might also be struggling with sedentary life style. Instead of having drinks with your friends, you can also mix things up by going hiking or dancing every once in a while.

Active TV Time

Binge watching Netflix on daily basis doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn into a couch-potato. Instead of sitting or lying down, you can also do a couple of easy exercises or house chores while your favorite show plays in the background.

If you can get to an orchard, apple picking is an amazing way to spend a fall day. You can eat fresh apples right off the tree and take some home to make delicious treats like apple pies and cakes!

Raking Leaves

While it may not be the most fun activity on our list, it will surely help you burn some extra calories! Any yard work counts, actually, so if there are no leaves to rake, you can trim the bushes, plant some fall flowers, or do anything else that will make your yard look beautiful.

]]> Even if you’re hitting the gym on a regular basis and trying to keep your diet healthy, you might still fall into a trap of becoming a sedentary athlete. Long periods of inactivity somehow manage to sneak their way into our daily life, but here are three useful trips how to avoid them.

Active Commute

If you can avoid driving or taking a bus to work, do your best to do so. We know it can be exhausting especially early in the morning, but biking, parking further away or walking to the next bus stop is a good habit we should all cultivate.

Active Social Time

The best way to stay active is doing it with other people who might also be struggling with sedentary life style. Instead of having drinks with your friends, you can also mix things up by going hiking or dancing every once in a while.

Active TV Time

Binge watching Netflix on daily basis doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn into a couch-potato. Instead of sitting or lying down, you can also do a couple of easy exercises or house chores while your favorite show plays in the background.
