Sneak Exercises Into Your Day: Phone and Elevator Edition
Want to exercise but don't have time?
This book suggests sneaking exercise into your day!
While on the phone, stretch, walk, or even do yoga poses.
In elevators, try upper body stretches or lunges.
The idea is to link exercise with activities you already do, making fitness a natural part of your routine.
It's about using small moments to move more throughout the day, turning those moments into opportunities for activity.
Even something as simple as stretching while on a phone call can make a difference!
The book suggests ways to exercise during phone calls, like walking or doing yoga poses.
Author recommends stretching or wall-sitting while on calls to make better use of the time.
In the elevator, upper body stretches and lunges are suggested to use the time effectively.
The book mentions an IBM survey that found office workers spend a lot of time in elevators.
The approach promotes exercise by linking it to existing daily habits, like using the phone.
