Published: Fri, 02/09/18

Did you know that doing regular exercise can help reduce the risk of high blood pressure, colon cancer, and diabetes? Strive to get at least 10,000 steps in per day. You can track this with a fitness tracker or a pedometer, and add some light resistance training in a few days a week if possible.

Do a Home Workout Program

There are plenty online programs you can use to stay active. Try finding one you can enjoy and stick to such as yoga, light weight resistance training, or Pilates.

Join an Indoor Fitness Class

Being stuck indoors doesn’t necessarily help keep you motivated, but if you can get out of the house and join and fitness class it can help you stay active and get some social time as well!

Wear a Fitness Tracker

Fitness trackers are a great way to stay on top of your fitness goals. Wearing a tracker can help you calculate how many steps you are doing per day and motivate you to do more if you find you aren’t staying as active as you would like.
