Incidental Exercise Adds Up

Movement happens everywhere — use stairs, walk more, or stretch during your day to stay active without a workout.

You don’t need to carve out gym time to stay active — daily life offers plenty of chances for movement if you know where to look.

Simple ways to move more:

  • Take the stairs instead of the lift

  • Park further away and walk the extra distance

  • Stretch during TV ad breaks

  • Dance while cooking or tidying

  • Walk or cycle short trips instead of driving


These moments may feel small, but they build physical activity into your day and support long-term health.
