We know it's good for us to exercise a little every day . We can start the process of weight loss now by adding a little more activity to your life. Here are some simple ways to exercise.Turn off the TV. Once a week, turn off the TV and do something a little more physical with your family. Play games, take a walk...almost anything will be more active than sitting on the couch.Walk more. Look for small ways to walk more. When you get the mail, take a walk around the block, take the dog for an extra outing each day or walk on your treadmill for 5 minutes before getting ready for work.Do some chores. Shoveling snow, working in the garden, raking leaves, sweeping the floor...these kinds of activities may not be 'vigorous' exercise, but they can keep you moving while getting your house in order.Walk while you talk. When you're on the phone, walk around or even do some cleaning while gabbing. This is a great way to stay moving while doing something you enjoy.Eating Well Eating a healthy diet is another part of the healthy lifestyle.
