STAYING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE  Physical activity is any body movement that works your muscles and requires more energy than resting. Engaging in  regular physical activity is a mood lifter; it is like a happy pill and health booster with no side effects! Research  showed that short bouts of exercise throughout the day have the same benefits as continuous workouts. A few tips on  how to sneak in some extra movement into your day: • Walk while on phone calls or stand up when taking calls. • Stand up while using the computer work if possible. • Do simple toning exercises while working; Take Stretch/Walk Breaks. • Move while waiting for your food to cook; Move more during lunch. • Park further away. • Take the stairs.
