19.01.2022 Each day you can do incidental exercise without knowing it! When you walk rather than drive or take two flights of stairs instead of the lift, you’re actually exercising. By making these simple everyday choices, you can quickly reach up to 30 minutes of exercise a day. Some activities that can count towards your daily exercise include:... - Taking the stairs rather than the lift - Walking the dog - Cycling or walking to the local store rather than driving We suggest trying to find 30 minutes of exercise each day and doing two formal workouts each week. To find out more tips head to our website!
