Health & Nutrition|June 2017

Work it in during routine activities. Here are 10 ideas to get you started.

No Time For Exercise?

You know that you should get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. But somehow the time slips by, and you never seem to find that half-hour block. No worries.

Here are tips for being more active all day long.

1 While Waiting Around

Nobody likes standing in line. Here’s a full-body exercise routine to help pass the time. Squeeze your behind 10 times. Tighten your stomach muscles 10 times. Stretch your arms downward behind you and squeeze your triceps 10 times. Rise up on your toes and squeeze your calves 10 times.

2 While Sitting Around

Improve your grip strength by keeping a tennis ball at your desk at work, and another by your favourite chair at home. At least twice a day, grab a ball and squeeze tightly. Hold for five seconds, then release slowly. Repeat 10 to 15 times with each hand.
