  • Stretch as you get out of bed to maintain the range of motion in the joints.
  • Choose to be active during your workday.
  • By the stairs.
  • Park in the parking lot as far away from your destination as possible.
  • Walk on your lunch break.
  • Walk for five minutes at the end of every hour, and at the end of an eight-hour day, you can walk for 40 minutes.
  • Include weight lifting two days a week.
  • Enjoy your workout. If you hate running, don’t use running as your form of exercise. Find something you enjoy doing so it doesn’t become a punishment. Invest in quality workout clothes that make you feel comfortable and ready to move.
  • Work out with others. Finding like-minded people not only keep you accountable but also helps motivate you.
  • Try meeting a friend for a walk or bike ride as opposed to coffee.
  • Host a neighborhood walking party in the morning or evening a couple of nights a week. Even 10-15 minutes around the block is better than nothing.
  • Join a local gym or attend regular fitness classes.
Health Goals

Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to help regulate your sleep schedule.
Do some digital detoxing to relieve stress and anxiety.
A digital fast: giving up all digital devices for a specific period of time (a day, a week, even just an hour before bed each night).
Repetitive digital self-denial: Choose one day of the week to be device-free. It can help to let family and friends know that every Sunday, for example, your devices will be off
Social Media Limits: Set a daily time limit or even completely cut off your social media usage for certain periods of time.
Focused Detox: If there is an app, game, site, or digital tool that takes up too much of your time, set some restrictions around that specific problem.
Emphasize good manners. Just sitting up straight improves blood flow and increases energy in all parts of your body.
Spend some time every day doing something you love.
Read, draw, sing, listen to music, dance, meditate, and laugh.
Do some “ditching and switching”: start with one room at a time and take a closer look at the chemicals in your home. Brightly colored dish soaps, scented cleaning liquids, and even personal care items, and cosmetics all contain toxic chemicals that can leach into your living space. Check out natural alternatives for safer ways to clean your home.
