The Power of Accidental Exercise
Everyday movement counts — stairs, chores, and short walks all support a healthier, more active life.
Not all exercise has to be planned — everyday activities like walking, cleaning, or using the stairs can boost your health without a formal workout.
Examples of accidental movement:
- Walking instead of driving short distances
- Taking stairs rather than the lift
- Gardening, vacuuming, or house cleaning
- Playing with pets or kids
- Doing light stretching or movement during TV breaks
These small bursts of activity add up and support your energy, heart health, and overall wellbeing.
