Reaching daily physical activities goals can be difficult when life gets in the way. To help you become more active, the National Library of Medicine recommends the following: use the stairs instead of the elevator; walk to a co-worker’s desk or office instead of sending an email; park farther away in the parking lot to increase the distance you have to walk; join an exercise group; listen to music or watch TV while working out to reduce boredom; and find activities that you can perform indoors when the weather is bad.
