Brainstorming about moving throughout our day

Do easy before hard
Many of us work or live out of our lives sitting. Computers, books, phones, offices, classrooms, living rooms, sun rooms, cars we like sitting and it is a part of our lives. The research is clear that it isn't good for us to be so sedimentary. Allow me to brain storm a little bit. To get to 10,000 steps we need to find more movement in our lives.
Here are three good links you can do right at your computer. A good pair of shoes, resistant band and a little space is all you need. From Real Age

The walking videos and beginning workouts will give you a good workout. You could on your mini breaks do a video through out the day.
Get a call, get up and pace small steps. Take breaks every hour to use you resistant band, do push ups off a table, counter or desk. The closer your feet to wall or counter it is easy, move your feet away harder. I use benches at my walking park. Turn around and you can do dips.  With your resistant band you can do every exercise that can be done in the gym.
Going through a band routine
1 or 2 moes at a time
Learn the In Home steps with Leslie Sansone and and you can do these steps any where for a few minute break. Walk on commercials, walk at work to communicate with others, at work I try to get up to help students as often as I can. At work I walk easy 5,000 to 8,000 steps a day.  Small walks of a block at a time and back add up to a lot of steps.
Guys helping with the chores at home will improve you love life and give your body more steps and motion that will pay big dividends in your health. You won't have to advertise, she will know.
Finding ways to move every hour is huge. learn how exercise sitting, ideas will help you when you fly. Driving walk at rest stops and parks you come along. Park further away at restaurant stops. Learn how to stretch. OK, it is time for you to brainstorm. Every hour in the office, on the computer, watching TV, you come up with  a way to move and exercise each hour. Keep walking
