Your environment: physical fitness
Your surroundings shape how much you move more than you might think. When movement is convenient, you're more likely to do it, and when it's a hassle, it's easy to skip.
A few ways to set up your space for success:
- Keep your walking shoes by the door
- Leave a yoga mat or resistance bands where you can see them
- Keep a small water glass on your desk, so you get up often to refill it
- Take phone calls on foot
- Find a walking buddy or a class you genuinely enjoy
The general guideline for adults is about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, plus strength work twice a week, but every bit counts. Try this: pick one spot in your home and make it a movement-friendly zone today.
