Get away from your desk

If you are one of the millions with a desk job, be sure to get out of your chair once an hour for 5-10 minutes to do some standing stretches.

Gently stretch your shoulders, arms, neck, back, sides, chest, and calves. This can improve circulation and relieve neck and back stiffness. Done regularly, this also can improve your motivation to do some serious aerobic exercise after your workday ends.

Improving strength and stamina

When you improve your strength and stamina, it’s easier to accomplish everyday. Don’t run your vehicles if you aren’t driving. It takes less fuel to restart your engine than to let it idle for 10 seconds. Also avoid long warm-ups. Instead, drive gently until your engine reaches operating temperature.
