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.
