Exercise if one of the few ways you can naturally keep healthy. I for one am not an “exercise means join-the-gym” type of person. I’m not exactly a couch potato – more like a computer potato! So if you’re like me what do you do for exercise?

Be creative – that’s what you do! And make sure you keep moving!

I work in an office and do not have the luxury of getting up and walking around all the time – if I did I’d never get my work done then I’d have to work late and … etc. But I do move around as often as possible and not just to get a coffee! Meetings are held on the floor above mine so I use the stairs instead of the elevator.

During the summer the patio on the roof of our building is available for lunch and again the stairs are used to get to it. Also, I believe it is important to get moving right after lunch in order to digest my food properly and not be sleepy and lethargic for the rest of the afternoon.

At home, we have lots of stairs, stairs to the basement, stairs to the bedrooms, and stairs to even get into the house. So I can get lots of exercise just by doing the washing because the laundry room is in the basement!

I have a huge garden where there are lots of chances for exercise – there are steps to get to the garden too!

Going out on the weekend to a club can also be a kind of exercise if you do more dancing than drinking! Think about it and you’ll find that not only will you enjoy the atmosphere but it’s healthy too! Make sure it’s a smoke free club though.

My challenge to myself this year is to get out into the fresh air more – for instance, on weekends leave my car in the driveway and walk down to the shops.

I live near a lake and park – it should not be hard to take a picnic and enjoy the outdoors. A few years ago I looked after one of my nieces during the summer and we would go down to the lake and paint – it was quite an experience and lots of fun. It’s amazing how many people came to check out our “masterpieces”!

The main thing is to stop procrastinating about exercise and to start doing it. The amazing thing is that once started it can be quite addictive and lots of fun.
