of vigorous activities each day can have

a long-term impact on your aerobic fitness

and perhaps your blood pressure, even

if you’re generally not very active,” says

Emmanuel Stamatakis, a professor of physical

activity at the Charles Perkins Centre,

University of Sydney. Try the tips above!

As soon as you enter

a big-box store, walk

jogging between

houses. Your pup will

love it, and you’ll

feel energized.

Cleaning

Play your favorite

upbeat tunes and

zip around at twice
