How to carve out time
Sure, we should all be exercising more. But that’s easier said than done, isn’t it? Luckily there are some simple tricks you can use to add 10 minutes of walking to your day.
- Set your alarm just 10 minutes earlier to give yourself time for a wake-up stroll.
- If you bus into work, get off a couple stops early so you can build in a 10-minute walk.
- Schedule a 10-minute walk in your calendar as an appointment.
- Plan to walk on your lunch break when you know you’ll have the time.
- Ask a coworker to join you for a “walking meeting.” You can talk shop while you walk.
- Make a routine of taking a quick 10-minute walk after dinner with a loved one or on your own for some “me time.”
