Any Excuse for a Walk

When you've got a sedentary job or are needing to do more exercise to lose weight, look for any excuse for a walk.

Any destination that's within 20-30 minutes can become an excuse for a health stretch of the legs making a 40-60 minute round trip.

• Need milk? - walk to the store.
  
• Walk together to the movies - you can review it together on the way home.
  
• Need cash from the ATM - walk there for it.
  
• Take a pre-work walk to get a surprise treat for the kids' lunchbox from the bakery.
  
• Close enough to walk to work - do it.
  
• Park in the far corner of the carpark.
  
• Walk around the field while your kids are at sports practice.
• Use the stairs instead of the lift.
